The debut of Colombian Luis Díaz at Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany has made waves. Following the emphatic 4-0 win over Tottenham in the Telekom Cup, Kompany praised the winger’s outstanding physical and mental condition: “He’s the most prepared of all. He had an excellent preseason with Liverpool, already training three weeks before us.”
Díaz played 76 minutes in that match, standing out for his energy and constant involvement. Moreover, in the friendly debut against Lyon, he made an immediate impact by winning the penalty that led to the first goal and showing strong chemistry with his teammates. In a context where Bayern is going through preseason without key players like Musiala or Davies, Díaz’s arrival adds dynamism and strengthens the attack ahead of the new season.
What reasons did Vincent Kompany give for saying that Luis Díaz “is ahead of everyone” after the friendly against Tottenham?
Kompany highlighted that Díaz is in outstanding physical and mental shape because he had an early preseason with Liverpool, training up to three weeks before the rest of the Bayern squad. Thanks to that, his level of readiness is ahead of his teammates at the time of his debut.
