Luis Diaz he makes a chilling goal from Chile and Colombia was very close to matching or beating Brazil. Luis Díaz, with a brave career in which he supports the weight of the brand, with almost no shooting angle and falling, ties the game against Argentina, the finally champion of the America Cup. Finally, Luis Díaz, with a thoroughbred gallop and a smoke bomb, raised Colombia to the podium of the tournament by defeating Peru.
The weight of Luis Díaz in the Colombia selection It shows, once again and in an obvious way, that in football, as in any sport or activity, individualities, cracs, are decisive and necessary. Fundamentals.

He, who arrived as a supporting actor in the list of substitutes, became the main protagonist of the National Team and in third place, the star who walked the red carpet of the Cup with the same goals as Messi at the top from the gunners table and next to Neymar.
Luis Díaz and his celebration after the 3-2 to Peru.
“It is unheard of that it depends on the players, on the individualities”, “the individuality will never be more important than the collective”, “Colombia does not score goals because football is collective and is supported by attack functioning structures”, they allege and shout various ‘intellectuals’ of the game perhaps to attack the absent, especially to James Rodriguez, and to ingratiate himself with the technician: both things so, but so Colombian.
Thus, Díaz became the biggest mask in this Copa América in the times of covid-19.

Individualities have marked the greatest feats in football history: the great Real Madrid of the myth would have been nothing without Di Stéfano, the only Hungary ever was because of Puskas, one says Brazil and one says Pelé, the Netherlands that revolutionized in Soccer has the Cruyff stamp, Argentina won their world titles dictated by Kempes and Maradona. Until the rock Italy of 1982, the brand’s little tactical watch was Rossi’s Italy, let alone Messi’s Barcelona. Yes, from Messi, like this Argentina that won the Copa América. The greatest Colombia of all time, Brazil 2014, was for James.
And so, all the great teams in history (and of the paddocks, of course!) Are defined by a genius, by a crash. Obvious: none of them played or play alone, but individuality is the real weight of imbalance in football. The value of individuality, of the crash, surpasses rivals and supports titles and podiums. Otherwise, Bielsa or Mourinho would always be champions.
It is so obvious that it seems silly to emphasize it: in a football team the main thing, the key and the differential are good footballers. Group tactics and strategies make physical players, fighters, skilled, but not talented, important. Collective tactics and strategies were invented precisely to supply the cracks that are not had and to stop those of the rival.

And, as Perogrullo would say, the more crashes you have, the better: a midfield with Cuadrado, James and Díaz reads very well …
This Colombian National Team ends with a good balance and an encouraging third place in the Copa América for a brilliant individuality and goalscorer from Luis Díaz. Cracs must always be had.
