German Sky Sports published an article analyzing the deal that Bayern introduced Louis Dias from Liverpool, believing that multifacetedness is one of Dias's major advantages, and his style of play is very suitable for Bayern. This article by Sky Sports in Germany reads:
Luis Dias may not be the number one candidate on Bayern Munich's signing list, but the 28-year-old Colombian met almost all of Bayern's requirements. When Bayern is looking for a left winger to strengthen this summer, his requirements for the target candidate are: excellent right foot skills and sudden cuts. We think Bayern has found the answer (Dias this). Dias is extremely fast and explosive. The Colombian is good at dribbling and has a maximum speed of more than 35 kilometers per hour. Dias also makes important contributions to the team on the defensive end with his ability to compete.
Diaz is more efficient in Bisanne: Diaz plays 50 official games for Liverpool, scoring 17 goals and giving 5 assists; while Sane plays 45 official games for Bayern, with 13 goals and 5 assists. In the Champions League last season, although Sane averaged more than twice the number of shots (4.1 times) than Dias (2.0 times), Dias' goal conversion rate was better. According to the evaluation of the expected goal model, Dias' average probability of shooting is three times that of Sane (Dias: 0.18 per shot, expected goal, Sane: 0.06 per shot), Dias scored 3 goals in nine Champions League games, while Sane scored only 1 goal in 13 appearances.
Multi-facedness is a major advantage for Dias because he is also competent in the center position. When Liverpool won the Premier League title in the 24/25 season, he played for 1,200 minutes at the center position for the Reds due to the lack of top strikers, so he could also serve as Kane's substitute at Bayern. In addition, Diaz learned from Klopp how to press at a high position and further strengthened it under Slott. On the defensive end, he can contribute more than other wingers in Bayern's lineup.
In short, although Dias is valuable and is 28 years old, his style of playing football is simply tailor-made for Bayern. From the beginning of next season, people may be able to see the changes he has brought to Bayern.
