The National Government stated on Thursday that Luis Díaz has received solidarity and messages from all corners of football and sports over the kidnapping of his father, Luis Manuel Díaz, who was abducted by the ELN. A number of former Liverpool players, including Jürgen Klopp, have spoken out on the kidnapping that occurred last Saturday afternoon in the municipality of Barrancas, La Guajira, by guys riding motorcycles.
Although we already knew that Lupo was a fantastic player, we also care deeply about him because, when you see him around the building, he is the one who always has a smile on his face. With so many circumstances beyond our control, we are doing our best to help him at this time. One of us is Lucho. It was a kind gesture to put up the jersey of him; he understands that we are here for him. The stadium’s response was particularly noteworthy: every supporter is standing with him. “You will never walk alone” is our motto.
Because Liverpool is aware of the challenging circumstances their player is facing, they thought it would not be wise to activate him for the Premier League games against Nottingham Forest and the English League Cup encounter against Bournemouth. Following the confirmation that Luis Díaz’s father had been abducted by the ELN, Linda Pizzuti, the wealthy wife of Liverpool’s owner John W. Henry, was not far behind and gave the 26-year-old guajiro a heartfelt message.
They anticipated financial assistance
Through her social media accounts, Linda said, “We all send love to Luis Díaz, since he is with his family, we hope for the recovery of his father who was kidnapped.” On social media, a number of supporters have expressed their displeasure, saying they think Liverpool’s owners have abandoned the Colombian player because they might provide him with the financial means to demand information about his father or even offer to pay the ransom, when/if needed.
