Liverpool have officially announced the signing of Colombian striker Luis Díaz. In this way, the Red Army has one more choice on the front line. However, this may not be a good sign for the Red Arrow three who won the Champions League final together.
Looking back at the 2017-18 season, under the resistance of Real Madrid, liverpool, which was in the limelight, failed to win the Champions League, but this did not prevent the Red Arrows from continuing their form in the next season, so the forward combination of Mane, Firmino and Salah finally won the Champions League for the Reds in the 2018-19 season.
However, the momentum of the two seasons has not been able to continue, and due to injuries, conditions and other conditions, the Red Arrows began to gradually fall apart in the 2019-20 season, and the previous substitute forwards such as Diogo Jota officially took office.
By the 2021-22 season, basically the Reds' starting trident has become Manega Jotaga Salah, Firmino is on the bench, the overall performance of the new forward combination is not too bad, so why did the Reds introduce Díaz as a newcomer in this winter window?
Jota can indeed still be on the table against opponents in the Premier League, but the player's ability to seize opportunities is really not top-notch, and there is no too good performance in many tough battles of strong dialogue, and he is likely to be the first person to bring in Díaz's replacement.
This speculation is the most reasonable and probable, but if we look back at the technical characteristics of the player Díaz, we may find that the truth may not be so simple.
The Colombian winger Diaz is a full-fledged winger, his movements are not fancy, but the overall style is more outlier. In short, that kind of player who moves very strangely but can pass the opponent, then when it comes to the explosive type of players, Mane and Salah in the Reds squad should be more in line with this characteristic.
Looking closely at the contract period of the Red Arrows, all three are about to expire their contracts in the summer of 2023 to become free agents, And Firmino, who has been reduced to a substitute, is no longer a priority renewal for the Reds, so Mane and Salah, who have not yet completed the renewal, have become something for Liverpool to worry about.
Basically, it is difficult for the Reds to keep these two players at the same time, after all, the media has also reported that both of them want to leave the team, and liverpool will be able to keep only one of them to a large extent, then the vacancy of the other position is basically filled by Luis Dias.
Although the player's current strength is not yet top-notch, but the victory is in the young, Vinicius's success at Real Madrid has greatly stimulated other giants' ideas for the construction of the wing, and the young players are further promoted, and the players who are still unstable in their old age become less hot.
