"We train on a daily basis trying to help in the best possible way in terms of where to position themselves and what to do in certain situations," Slot said. "But in the last third of the pitch, it's about the quality of the player and the finishing he has." This highlights the tactical focus Slot emphasizes while acknowledging Diaz's inherent skills crucial for success.
"Maybe he was a bit unlucky [last season]." This statement reflects Slot's understanding of Diaz's past performances and the potential that may not have been fulfilled, which he's now harnessing effectively.
"Eight league goals is, for his quality, not of his standard." This comment underscores the high expectations Slot and the club have for Diaz, pointing to his capabilities that exceed previous outputs.
Diez's resurgence is even more notable given the competitive landscape of the squad, with both Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez vying for playing time, making his five goals particularly impressive early in the season.
