Forced to endure a harrowing six-day journey, the behind-the-scenes account unveils the terrifying hours of the kidnapping of Diaz's father.
Revelations surface following his release from captivity. Luis Diaz's family underwent a tragic episode when his father was abducted by the National Liberation Army on October 28. Although the Liverpool winger received the positive news of his father's release, disturbing details have emerged about the hardships endured during the ordeal.
After being taken off the motorcycle employed by the captors, Diaz's father sustained a knee injury. Additionally, he was compelled to walk continuously for several days. Monsignor Francisco Ceballos, the Bishop of Riohacha in Colombia, shared insights into the 58-year-old's experience, recounting that out of the 13 days in captivity, he walked for six days, day and night.
Despite these challenging circumstances, Luis Diaz, showing remarkable resilience, chose to play for Liverpool during his father's kidnapping period. In a recent English Premier League match against Luton, he not only played but also scored a goal. Diaz publicly appealed for his father's release, demonstrating his strength and commitment amid personal adversity.
