Luis Diaz has been out injured after picking up a knee injury during the 3-2 defeat of Liverpool against Arsenal on October 9th.

The Colombian international has returned to his home country to work on his recovery. During his time in Colombia, a Colombian magazine SoHo, had a little chat with the 25-years old.

When asked why he doesn’t like to do interviews. He replied:

“I usually say no to the Liverpool press team, that I prefer not to give interviews, but they take me to one, or two, and that’s it, I’ll get out of that quickly.

“I know there are other players who are dying to be in the media. I am the other extreme, the less I get out, the better.”

Liverpool star complaints about media

A few weeks ago a video of Diaz at a nightclub was circulating in his country. The incident reportedly left him worried. This incident leads him to give his opinion on the media.

“It is that they [journalists] are difficult, and in soccer, more. I was here in Barranquilla, recovering from my injury –the one I suffered on October 9 playing against Arsenal, and I went to a nightclub with my sister and my family. I knew that they were going to see me and that they would spread the news,”

Diaz said.

“I [was] worried because people might think that I, despite being injured, went to a party. But I didn’t do anything, I was there, alone, with my little glasses and my cap.”

When asked if he would have preferred to go unnoticed at that nightclub, he replied:

“No, I knew they were going to put me on the news, as they had done before, but at that time I was on vacation and I could do whatever I wanted. That is why I have decided, better, not to go out anymore. I go to a restaurant, quickly, so that people don’t notice me, but no more.

“I don’t go out there [Liverpool] either. But we go from time to time, to Italian restaurants, in that country the food is very different.

“In a different way [fans react] than they do here. In Colombia they may see me eating with the family and still won’t mind interrupting and asking for a photo. In England the behaviours are different, there will be no interruption during the meal, but some fans have followed me to my house.”

The Colombian international moved to Anfield from Porto in January. He wants to win Premiere League after having won EFL Cup and FA cup. He also shows his desire to play in the Spanish league.

“I would like to play for a Spanish club that has always attracted my family’s attention, but it is more of a childish dream,”

Diaz said.

“Now I only think about lifting trophies and making history with Liverpool, which is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I am very grateful for the opportunity they have given me.”
