“They are technically spectacular” – Luis Diaz on playing with Kane and Olise

Luis Diaz is enjoying playing up front with Harry Kane and Michael Olise for Bayern Munich.

Luis Diaz has made an immediate impact at Bayern Munich following his move from Liverpool last summer, racking up 19 goals and 15 assists in 32 appearances across all competitions until now.

The 29-year-old is part of a frontline that also features Harry Kane and Michael Olise among others – and he is clearly relishing the experience of playing alongside them.

“It makes me very proud to play in a team with Harry and Michael. They are technically spectacular,” Diaz said in an interview with Sky Germany before describing Kane as someone who “does everything really well”.

“He surprised me a lot. I had seen him play in England, because we faced Tottenham several times. But it’s one thing to watch him on the opposing team. It’s another to actually share the locker room with him and stand with him every day on the training pitch and see how he works for us as a team, how he moves, how he constantly drops back, demands the ball, and of course, how he scores goals. He’s a machine. He really does everything well. I’m very proud to be part of this attack,” he added.

Highlighting Olise’s qualities, Diaz said:

“Michael destroys you one-on-one; he’s so technically gifted and makes the difference. He’s a calm guy. On the pitch, he’s very communicative. He helps a lot, pays attention to many details, and sometimes says, ‘Hey, let’s defend like this or that.’ These are the details that help you grow as a footballer and make you feel comfortable. Again: it’s incredible to play with players like this.”
