It was a long, long time. But also a lot of effort, patience and pain. And only those who saw it day by day understand what it cost what happened this Monday, in the Leeds 1-Liverpool 6 duel for the Premier League.
Nine minutes from the end, Luis Fernando Díaz Marulanda entered the field, the winger so missed by the fans and coach Klopp himself, in a season full of difficulties.

The good ‘Lucho’ returned as always, restless, fast, offering himself for the pass, motivated by a comeback that knew how to wait and work during all these months.
Many from a distance were happy, but in the stands itself a particular celebration caught our attention: waving a Colombian flag, a man with glasses and a red T-shirt, shorter than all the other attendees, jumped for joy when he saw him enter. It was Don Manuel, the father of Luis Fernando.
This is how he celebrated the return of his boy, hugging the Liverpool fans, delighted to have him so close:
Diaz replaced Gakpo and this time played more on the right flank, but looked strong and confident despite undergoing surgery and a complex rehabilitation.
It is expected that he will soon regain ownership and lend a hand to his team, which needs to row from behind to get, at least, into the Champions League zone: today it is eighth, 9 points behind the fourth, which is Newcastle.
