Diaz praises Liverpool goalie Alisson for his support through his family’s recent ordeal

“You May Never Walk Alone.” – Liverpool FC’s superstar goalkeeper Allison Becker perfectly embodied Liverpool’s official slogan.

Liverpool star Luis Diaz highlighted teammate Alisson’s invaluable support in helping him through the “difficult” period after his father’s kidnapping last month.

Diaz scored twice for Colombia as they dramatically beat Brazil, with his father Mane in attendance just a week after being freed from captivity from the ELN guerrilla group of northern Columbia.

In a pivotal World Cup qualifying clash against Brazil, Diaz showcased an exceptional performance, scoring both goals in Colombia’s remarkable 2-1 victory.

The win over Brazil represented a groundbreaking milestone for Colombian soccer, putting an end to a 15-game winless streak against the South American powerhouses in World Cup qualification matches.

The emotional win came during Diaz’s first international break since the traumatic ordeal involving his dad. As reported by the Liverpoolecho, Diaz revealed Alisson was there for him as he coped with the situation.

“Alisson very happy, he is a great person. He accompanied me in the last 15 days, he is a great human being and he helped me get through this difficult moment.”

For Diaz, having a friend and colleague like Alisson lend comfort during vulnerable moments proved hugely beneficial. Their bond now extends beyond the pitch.

Alisson embracing Diaz after the full-time whistle exemplified the compassion and moral character he brings to Liverpool as more than just a world-class keeper.

The Brazilian goalie’s empathy and support for his teammate’s family crisis reaffirmed Alisson as a selfless teammate. He sets the tone at Liverpool with his integrity. Diaz’s praise also highlighted the strong team spirit and camaraderie within the Reds squad.
