Mum reveals Diaz happy playing for Liverpool boss Klopp: He hugs me | OneFootball

The mother of Luis Diaz says he's happy playing with his Liverpool teammates and also manager Jurgen Klopp.

The Colombian, 25, has made an instant impact at Anfield since leaving Porto in January. He's scored six goals and provided four assists for Liverpool this season, creating an understanding with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino.

"He is maturing; I see him more serene in everything he does, very disciplined in everything," said Diaz's mother, as quoted by Colombian magazine Semana. "He is very serious, and responsible in all his work, and that's why he has done so well.

"God gives him blessings so that he can continue to excel. He is loving with his dad, with everyone, we talk every day. He tells me, 'Mummy, you're the best mummy in the world; I love you very much'. He doesn't hold grudges against anyone because he's always been simple since he was a child, humble; I've seen him the same way since he was a child.

"He tells me, 'The manager likes me; when I play my games, he hugs me' - and he has also been able to get along with his team-mates. They welcome him for being the way he is."
