Shocked Dias: “This goal is for the freedom of my father and all the kidnapped people in my country”

Liverpool were 1-0 down at Luton with Chong’s first Premier League goal, but as fate would have it, the equalizer and a point for Jurgen Klopp’s side came from the man who has been at the center of everyone’s attention over the last 10 days Attention stood very bad reason.

The reason, of course, lies with Luis Diaz, who learned that his parents were kidnapped in Colombia ten days ago and so far only saw his mother return home safe and sound when the Reds striker came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute. and to score at 90+5′, celebrate the goal by showing a T-shirt with the inscription “Freedom for Dad.”

That message he showed on the pitch was just the beginning, as a short time later he posted on his Instagram account asking National Liberation Army (Colombian guerrilla group) to release his father as quickly as possible.

“This goal is for the freedom of my father and all those abducted in my country. Thank you all for your support.” The Colombian striker originally wrote the following in his post:

“It’s not a player talking to you. Today it is Lucho Diaz, the son of Luis Manuel Diaz. Mane, my father, a hard-working man and a pillar of the family, was kidnapped.”

I ask him I ask the National Liberation Army to release my father as soon as possible. I also ask international organizations to work for his release.

With every second that passes we worry more and more. There are no words to describe the terrible feelings my family is feeling, and it will remain that way until he comes home.

I implore you to release my father immediately while respecting his integrity. I would like to thank all Colombians and also the international community for your support.”
