Wasteful Luis Diaz? Here’s what Bayern chief Eberl says | OneFootball

In Bayern’s 4-1 victory at 1. FC Köln, Luis Diaz once again misses a big chance. After the match, sporting director Max Eberl addresses the situation.

After falling behind 0-1 in Cologne, Bayern could have decided the game in their favor much earlier. In the 53rd minute, Luis Diaz broke free on goal after a beautiful through ball from Harry Kane. But Diaz shot the ball over the bar. That should have been the 3-1 for Munich.

It wasn’t the first time the new signing from Liverpool missed a big chance in a Bayern shirt. Time and again, he has squandered clear scoring opportunities in recent matches.

After the game in the cathedral city, FCB sporting director Max Eberl was asked about Diaz’s conversion rate. The Bayern boss defended the Colombian: “We are extremely happy. His intensity and willingness to always be involved both offensively and defensively,” he said.

Eberl continued: “Now you could say: He had a big chance in Gladbach, he had a big chance today. But he keeps getting into those positions. He makes those 60, 70 meter sprints. Forward, but also tracking back. And that’s why he’s an absolute asset for us.”

Eberl: “At the moment, we’re on a very good run”

Eberl analyzed the match as follows: “Cologne played very actively and bravely, going for second balls and aerial duels. The first half was very complicated for us, it wasn’t an easy game, and we found ourselves 0-1 down. But we came back, turned the game around before halftime, and led 2-1. In the second half, it was a very manly and stable away performance, which we saw out very well.”

The 52-year-old’s conclusion: “You could see the mentality in this team and their joy in playing football. At the moment, we’re on a very good run.”
