Bayern new boy Diaz on the Bundesliga: "Physically very demanding" | OneFootball

Luis Diaz is one of the most prominent new signings for FC Bayern this summer – and the Colombian has already formed a clear impression of his new surroundings after his first few weeks in Germany.

In a conversation with bundesliga.de, the 27-year-old spoke about his impressions of the club, the significance of his transfer, and the unique challenges of the Bundesliga.

“What attracted me were the expectations of FC Bayern, because it’s no secret that it’s a very big club. I already knew a lot about FC Bayern. They brought me in, they believed in me. That was a really important point in my decision to choose them and move to them,” explained Diaz.

The winger, who moved from FC Liverpool to Munich, sees his new role primarily as an opportunity to make history: “It’s a club with a long history, a club that has won everything on an international level. It’s a very big challenge for me to be part of such a big club. I will try to give my best to continue making history, continue winning titles, and achieve important things.”

He particularly emphasizes how crucial the long-term successes of the record champions are for his motivation: “That’s what people always remember, what stays in our memory as footballers. I am very happy to be part of this great club. Hopefully, we will continue like this. We have started really well. We will try to keep working like this to have a great start to the season.”

Diaz on Football in Germany: “Lots of Duels, High Tempo”

At the same time, Diaz emphasized the intensity of the games in Germany: “Physically, it is very demanding. There are lots of duels, high tempo, and you have to constantly work at the highest level.”

For FC Bayern, the offensive player is expected to take on a key role following the departures of Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sané. In his initial appearances, he has already hinted that with his speed, technique, and determination, he can become a real game-changer. Coach Vincent Kompany relies on the Colombian to revitalize the offense and bring more variability to the attacking play.

Diaz himself looks optimistically forward: “I want to do my part to ensure we have a successful season. I will give everything for that.”
