Liverpool saved, at the last minute, a game that was very difficult against the young and disciplined Ajax of the Netherlands. They won 2-1 and that, given the difficult circumstances, was celebrated to a rage.
The Colombian Luis Díaz started and stayed on the field until the end, although it was not exactly his most brilliant game. He had an option in the first half, he did not get to connect a Darwin Núñez center and had some other option.
What is not negotiated with the peasant is his sacrifice, which he also applies in marking and with movements without the ball to free his teammates. But, that is to say, he had other games where he really excelled and this was not that occasion.
Diaz received 6 qualifying points. “He won the header to help create the first goal, pressed well and wide with great effort; the quality is inconsistent,” said the Liverpool Echo at the end of the long-suffering game.
It is worth saying that almost the entire team was over 7 points and only Elliot and Darwin Núñez, who played just 24 minutes, shared the same score as the Colombian. The only one who cracked, with 5 points, was Firmino.
Liverpool continues to suffer many ups and downs, especially in defense, but the three points in the Champions League are a balm that, hopefully, will be enough to correct the course in the Premier League as well.
