Khedira swears at Dias: He is old + language barrier + explosive power decreases at any time

Hupu August 17th News Louis Diaz made a fantastic debut for Bayern Munich with a decisive goal in the Super Cup. However, after a 2-1 victory over Stuttgart, Bayern Munich's biggest signing this summer has won more than just praise.

"He lacks connection with the game. He doesn't speak German and doesn't speak English very well, it takes time." Former World Cup champion Sami Khdira said in an interview with SPORT1: "He has some good moves, but it still takes time."

Diaz scored a goal against Stuttgart to help the team lead 2-0. Khedira was also satisfied with the Colombian player's official debut: "He had some wonderful performances, and even once cleverly got rid of Wagnoman."

Despite this, he was not completely convinced of the transfer, and even "regardless of the transfer fee", the transfer fee of up to 75 million euros was quite high. “He’s 28 years old, on the wing, you need explosive power and speed in the first few meters,” Khdira points out. "Many players lose their explosive power when they are 30 or 31 years old."

"It remains to be seen whether Bayern can transfer him to the center position. This is the only thing I worry about, but we will discuss this in two or three years."

Diaz often played center at Liverpool last season, so he is already familiar with the position mentioned by Khdira. However, at present, he is mainly placed in the left winger.
