Luis Díaz

And then the other thing is, right, the other key thing of-- there's the, there's the output on one side and then there is, for me, the very best players, and this probably does link a little bit into playing the game at your own speed, but on the counterattack, be a safe pair of hands on the ball.

For years, we were incredibly lucky that Bobby Firmino, Sadio Mane, and Mo Salah were absolute experts in transition, the best transition players you could ever hope for as a fan, to the point where when you get Luis Diaz, who is a very good transition player, he used to frustrate me a bit with giving the ball away when we were in transition.

So my standards are high.

But if you're as good as Florian Wirtz, you cannot, you cannot misplace simple passes.

I done him in gaffer Super League, and I'm very annoyed that I didn't stick him in my UCL fantasy team because he was in it over the weekend.

I changed my mind, uh, to force in Luis Diaz, who did nothing in a 5-nil victory.

Anyway, he scored and assisted.

Nico Paz also with two assists.

You know, or players want to be that, but they don't have the speed and acceleration that he does.

And so back to the point about the intensity, refreshing to see, to see a player of that profile with that speed, that blistering pace that can really, really... cause a back line i mean just absolute nightmares for 60 minutes in a in a in an indonesia system where he likes to swap those wingers out i mean what a way right it's so exciting and it's refreshing the word is refreshing because like we've been just dying out dying as supporters for just pace and someone who can stretch teams and again cause nightmares and get in behind just like that or start a counterattack not out of nothing but just like within those first two seconds you're like oh my gosh we're in behind so yeah i'm very very very happy with his start i just wanted to go and get his first goal now i kind of want to see that excitement on his face that let off and just you know as supporters we we love when when a player scores their their first goal especially at anfield so i mean i still remember when luis diaz scored his first goal just like the excitement you have for a player like that So we all want him to succeed.

And I know he's going to be a great, great player for us for years to come.

So just getting up and running as quick as possible for him because he's going to be a hugely important player.

It was a funny game.

Like, I think the first half I thought was summed up quite well when Harry Kane swung it across from the right wing and Luis Diaz and Michael Olsen kind of clattered into each other, tried to head the ball in.

And it was like, it's like when you kind of wake up in the morning and you put your socks on the wrong way around or your trousers inside out or something, you're like, okay, I need a cup of coffee here because things aren't working.

Um, And then in a kind of funny kind of footballing way, like the Musiala goal was great, but it came about from basically Conrad Leimer and Harry Kane running into each other and then Musiala kind of pounced on the loose ball, which is obviously what he's tremendously doing.

The decision was Samuel's." Dortmund, Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Watford, Udinese, which is basically the same thing.

Um, apparently Luis Díaz playing for, for Liverpool has opened doors for all Colombians, which is great.

Uh, very, very happy to have landed this kid.

Very, very happy.

And for an Arsenal fan, she's also an Arsenal fan, for an Arsenal fan to say that she's bored by football, that tells you how incredibly boring it was to watch Bayern Munich in that first half.

We were not very creative, and several players were not really playing up to their potential, especially the front three, Harry Kane, Michael Oles, and Luis Diaz.

Muziela was a bit better.

He was kind of growing into the game, but I'll talk about Muziela later when I get to my player ratings.

However, Diaz was especially poor and we probably need to have a conversation about Luis Diaz.

And it wasn't until the second half.

And mind you, this is after Bodo had to change their goalkeeper, their first goalkeeper.

And I am back.

Harry Kane among those top contenders for the Ballon d'Or.

Michael Alisse, Luis Diaz, Dio Upamecano also joining him on the list of 30 there.

Bayern across all of its teams, the men and women, had several wins.

including Leonard Carl for the Best Young Player and Club of the Year for both men and women.

Now, Nicholas Jackson in Cane's stead, when Jackson would play, was solid.

I mean, he had a good statistical season, but could not give Bayern Munich what it needed from that spot, because who can? Cane is that special of a player.

Whether it was getting back and clearing... making clearances with headers for corners, working in the build-up, sending long passes down the wings to Luis Diaz or Michael Olise or Lennart Karl or whoever, Kane was able to just do it all.

He was a factor in every single part of the game for Bayern Munich from start to finish in the season.

are doing it for the people to talk about so satisfaction needs to go in correlation with what they do

i mean people definitely agree we are here to prove whether and state our opinions whether what they put out was um you know the the right names and everything that should have been included but let's start off with the top 30 of the balondo uh the top 30 has some exciting names So we have on the list, we have Bellingham, we have Kubasi, we have Dembele, Kukuella, Luis Diaz, Bruno Fernandes, Haaland, Gabriel of Arsenal, Harry Kane, Hakimi, Laminyamao, Kavaskeria, Sadio Mane, Marquinhos.

Um, One of the notable names that a lot of people are talking about that why is he not here is Pedri.

Why is he not
