Jürgen Klopp has expressed his sympathy for Luis Díaz. The Liverpool forward was absent from the matchday squad on Sunday because his parents were kidnapped. The German coach dedicated the victory over Nottingham Forest to him.
On Sunday, the news broke that Díaz's parents had been kidnapped in Colombia. His mother was relatively quickly released, but his father is still missing. The Liverpool players made a heartwarming gesture to their teammate in the match against Nottingham Forest, and now Klopp has also responded to the situation.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Klopp described this as 'the most challenging situation' he has ever worked in. 'It was a very difficult day for us, which ended with a good result. That was the best gift we could give to our brother. Perhaps it can provide him with a bit of distraction. The rest was extremely negative. You would think that after more than a thousand matches, you've seen it all, but apparently not.'
Later, during the press conference, Klopp didn't want to talk too much about the game. 'It's not about us; it's about Luis and his family. We pray and hope that everything turns out well. We'll do everything we can, and today, that meant winning. But how can you make a football match significant on a day like this?'
