Liverpool hero Kuyt amazed by Diaz: It's pretty special what he's doing | OneFootball

Liverpool hero Dirk Kuyt admits he's amazed by how Luis Diaz has settled so quickly since his January arrival from Porto.

Kuyt wrote for liverpoolfc.com: "I could run a fair bit when I was a player, but I must admit I'm jealous of Luis Diaz's lungs. His stamina is amazing.

"It looks like it's in his veins to press, so it's no surprise to see why he's adapted to Jürgen Klopp's system so quickly.

"And you must remember he came to Liverpool halfway through the season, doesn't speak the native language and dropped in a system that has, understandably, taken other players a bit of time to get to grips with.

"I remember when I came to the Premier League from Feyenoord in 2006. I lost six kilos of weight because it was so intense and every three days you were playing a high-intensity game. You just needed to work really hard to adapt.

"It took me six months to a year just to completely adapt to a new country, a new competition and get adjusted to everything else.

"What I've seen from Diaz's first few months, it looks so easy for him. What he's doing at the moment is pretty special."
