Today everything is joy and smiles, knowing that he is a Premier League champion, which is a great figure of Liverpool, that luck smiles.
But few knew, until now, the dramas that live, at a distance, those to whom we only see going crazy on the world's football courts.
In memory of his father
Luis Díaz has made a great friendship with the South Americans of the squad, as expected. With Alisson Becker is almost like an older brother, permanent support when he lived hard moments, such as his serious knee injury or his father's kidnapping in Colombia. The Brazilian knew, exactly, what it was to go for such a hard time.
This was revealed in The Player Tribune, in a confession that filled with regret but also with respect social networks.
The Brazilian suffered, at the distance, the death of his father, during the most difficult stage of the pandemic and are being able to be with his family. The summary of that moment left everyone without words.
Thus the great Liverpool goalkeeper told his pain:
“When I received the news that my father had died, I was at an ocean away from home. In Liverpool, in full season 2020-2021. His death was sudden. A total shock. It was as if I felt the ground under my feet. Klopp gave me time to overcome my pains and discomfort. Few coaches would be so understanding. For me it is the Liverpool style.”
💔🥺 Ufff, very hard story by Alisson Becker, archer of Liverpool, about the day he learned of his dad's death, in full pandemic:

“Ray Haughan, who was the club director at that time, sent me a text message and told me that the boys had gathered and had agreed to pay a private flight so that I could go to the funeral, so I did not have to worry about anything. It was an impossible situation, because at that time, to be able to leave the country, you had to make quarantine in a hotel for 14 days when you return.
The idea of returning from my dad's funeral and being trapped in a hotel room only for two weeks was difficult, but the worst part was to imagine my wife alone for so long. She would be in the last months of pregnancy and anything could happen.
I called my mother and my brother and explained the situation. It was the most brutal call of my life. We cried a lot, but in the end I decided that my father would want me to stay with my children and his 'favorite daughter' and protect them, regardless of how difficult it was.
Every time I had the opportunity to hug him, I hugged him. Every opportunity I had to tell him that I loved him, I did. There was nothing more to say. He knew it. “
