Former Barcelona scout criticizes Luis Díaz’s lack of continuity at Porto
‘Time is for truth’, the saying goes. And that is the one that has exposed a controversial former FC Barcelona coach, who had an opinion that was not only inaccurate but almost uninformed about Luis Díaz, which is already sparking great controversy.
Bojan Krkić, who worked with the Spanish club, said in Bar de Sique, on Cadena Ser, that the Colombian has a problem and that is why in the end they decided not to sign him before his arrival in Liverpool.
“When he was at Porto, we were evaluating and following him, but the problem with Luis Díaz, who has quality, talent, speed, dribbling, dribbling, goal, he has everything… but his problem is that he does not have continuity in performance, he is not the undisputed starter, this happened to him in Porto,” said the former culé team worker.
Perhaps he received the videos of another Díaz, of someone who was not a great starter for Porto, who was not the top scorer in the local league and the team’s hero in the Cup, perhaps his informants told him about someone else who was not the guajiro. And on the other hand, he did give the correct information to Klopp and Liverpool, who signed him in the winter market so as not to let him be snatched away from Tottenham and Barcelona itself.
“He is a footballer who plays a great game for you and is not there in the next one. He lives from the past,” added the former manager.
And in any case, judging by what Joan Laporta, president of the club, said in 2022, that opinion did not carry much weight: “Laporta, president of Barcelona, recognized the interest in Luis Diaz, however, it did not occur because they ended up to return to the club presidency. At that time we had just landed at the club and Liverpool beat us to it, but we were considering his incorporation, but we were in an economic situation that we had to resolve and reverse. I recognize that in the last time when Luis Díaz was going from Porto to Liverpool, we also had a conversation with the representative, but Liverpool already had him moving forward,” he said.
The rumor in England is that now Díaz could arrive at the culé house, if they get the more than 120 million euros that the one who does not see a greater projection in scouting currently costs. You have to see everything… really…
