Luis Diaz says Liverpool have a £34m player who is an absolute ‘machine’

Luis Diaz has been using one word to describe some of the most iconic footballers in recent history.

The Liverpool winger was taking part in a TikTok challenge for 90Min, when he had to sum up some of his heroes and his peers using just one word.

For some players, it’s rather easy to describe them in one word – Luis Diaz simply said that Ronaldinho was ‘magic’ as a player.

However, for others, an apt description is difficult to nail down in just a single utterance.

Diaz was asked to describe his Liverpool teammate, Mohamed Salah in one word, and he gave a rather interesting answer.

Luis Diaz’s one word to describe Mohamed Salah

Diaz was asked to sum up Salah as a player using just one word.

The man has been called a lot of different things over the years.

Salah has been called world-class in the past, while others have said that Salah is still underrated.

However, Diaz used a much more to the point term to describe Salah, labelling the Egyptian simply as a ‘machine’.

Liverpool are title favourites, and Salah and Diaz’s partnership has played a key role in that.

Luis Diaz’s record alongside Mohamed Salah

Diaz says that Salah is a machine, and he’s not wrong.

The Egyptian is one of the fittest, strongest and fastest players in the Premier League, and he combines all of that to be one of the most prolific attackers in the history of the league.

Diaz knows better than anyone just how good Salah is, and their record together is, quite simply, sublime.

Diaz and Salah have played 109 matches together and they have lost just 13 of those games, that is a remarkable record.

Discounting Liverpool’s first-leg loss against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, Diaz and Salah are currently on a 25-game unbeaten run when playing together – the longest run of this partnership.

These two have been absolutely vital to Arne Slot’s side’s success this season, and who knows? For the third time in four years, Liverpool are in contention to win a quadruple, and perhaps now is the time for the Merseyside club to achieve what has previously been unachievable.
