Luis Fernando Diaz Marulanda

In 2019, the young striker Luis Diaz, who became a member of the Colombian national team and the champion of the Aguila League with Atlético Junior, attracted the attention of European clubs and was the subject of interest of the Zenit team from St. Petersburg. As a result, he chose Portuguese Porto and won a 5-year contract.

Luis Fernando Diaz Marulanda, born on January 13, 1997 in the Colombian municipality of Barrancas, is a descendant of the indigenous Vayu Indian people who have lived on the Guajiro Peninsula since ancient times. From childhood, the future athlete honored the traditions of his ancestors, whose numbers decreased due to the reduction of territories, and spent time in nature, fleeing the heat on the banks of a few streams.

Mimicking his father, who organized friendly matches on a makeshift field, Louis skipped classes and played football with the neighbors' children, but his mother forced him to graduate from school, threatening to end this hobby. As a result, the boy received his secondary education and took up training in earnest, which allowed him to become the leader of the local youth team.

Diaz's ability to understand the game and break habitual strategic patterns caught the eye of Colombia's technical coach, El Pocillo, Jairo Diaz, and he promptly enrolled the young man on the semi-professional team.

Caught up in the Colombian squad for the 2015 America's Cup in Chile, Luis kept his distance from the team and did not participate in the entertainment of the other players.

В конце турнира известный футболист Карлос Вальдеррама вручил Диасу капитанскую повязку и порекомендовал его руководителям и наставникам профессиональной команды «Атлетико Хуниор».

Тренер футбольного клуба «Барранкилья», выступавшего в 2-й Лиге колумбийского чемпионата, обратил внимание на физическое состояние футболиста, обладавшего хрупким телосложением и мало весившим при росте 180 см. В результате Луис прошел курс усиленного питания, богатого поливитаминами, овощами и животным белком, и с апреля 2016 года занимал на поле позицию полузащитника, забив мяч в ворота «Кукуты Депортиво» перед глазами ревущих от счастья местных трибун.

В 2017 году Диас переквалифицировался в нападающего и занял место в основном составе команды «Атлетико Хуниор», претендовавшей на высокие места в высшем дивизионе. В итоге он принял участие в ряде матчей Лиги Агила и стал автором нескольких мячей и результативных передач. Тогда же игрок, показавший способности надежного вингера, выступил за национальную молодежную сборную Колумбии на первенстве Южной Америки.

В следующем сезоне Диас провел 38 матчей в местной Премьер-лиге и помог команде выступить в международных состязаниях, проводимых южноамериканской организацией Confederacion Sudamericana De Futbol.

Продолжив карьеру в национальной команде, спортсмен был заявлен на участие в розыгрыше Кубка Америки, но остался в запасе в противостоянии с Аргентиной и не смог проявит себя в последней пятиминутке с Катаром. Впрочем, неудачи, преследовавшие Диаса в начале турнира, сыграли на руку сборной Колумбии, и в поединке с футболистами из Парагвая он получил самые высокие оценки среди основных игроков.

До тех пор, пока Луисом Диасом не заинтересовались российские и европейские клубы, его личная жизнь проходила вдалеке от публики и вездесущих журналистов. Но поклонники команды «Хорхе Джуниор» знали, что молодой нападающий играет в Play Station, любит мороженое и фанатеет от музыки Сильвестра Дангода, Мартина Елиаса и Диомеда Диаса.

In recent years, changes have occurred in the athlete's biography, and he fell in love with a beautiful Colombian girl, who, judging by the photos and comments on Instagram, could become his wife in the near future.

While planning the development of his own career, the midfielder monitors discipline, but nevertheless happily communicates with his fans and looks for time to learn English.

After the friendly matches with the Colombian national team and the gold medal won in the national championship, Premiere A Diaz is under the scouting attention of the scouts representing the leading European clubs. Along with Portuguese Porto, which made a good offer, Zenit's management from St. Petersburg claimed the Atletico Junior striker.

Based on the watched matches with the participation of a relatively cheap and promising Colombian, the leadership of the winner of the Russian championship hoped that Luis possessed techniques to strengthen the left flank of the attack, and was able to interact with partners, introducing an element of surprise and a certain risk into the game.

However, the long-awaited transfer did not take place, and now Diaz plays for Porto, which paid Atletico Junior € 7 million for the promising striker.
