Bild: Dias’s 17-game statistics have exceeded Koeman’s total last season, and Eberl proves that the decision was correct

November 10th: In Bayern's 2-2 draw with Union Berlin on Saturday, Bayern forward Luis Dias once again scored a wonderful goal. The German media "Bild" stated that Luis Dias's transfer deal had been criticized this summer, but in fact this deal was proof of the ability of Bayern Sports Director Eberl.

Dias scored a 1-1 goal from a seemingly impossible angle when Bayern fell behind in the first half. Even the opponent coach Baumgart was full of praise: "We all looked at each other and said, 'Wow!' This is the charm of football."

Equally impressive is this: The striker had already shone in the 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, and Saturday's dream goal was already the 16th goal he was directly involved in after just 17 games (11 goals, 5 assists).

The data has shown: With this transfer of Dias, Bayern Sports Director Max Eberl has proven himself to everyone. Because: In the summer when the three wide stars Sane (29/Galatasaray), Koeman (29/Riyadh Victory) and Ter (20/Tottenham) left the team at the same time, and the 28-year-old Dias arrived from Liverpool for 67 million euros plus bonuses as a replacement, these decisions caused heated discussions, including some sharp criticism.

Many experts and fans question whether the cost-effectiveness of Dias's signing is reasonable, and whether Bayern will really be better than the departing wingers because of him. During this period, people repeatedly mentioned Mane. He also came to Bayern from Liverpool as an older top star in 2022, but he completely failed to live up to the huge expectations and left the team after a year to join the Saudi team Riyadh Victory.

German star Hamann said shortly after Dias' transfer: "Diaz is a very good football player, but Bayern's approach is not a business model. Spending so much money to buy a 28-year-old player and then give him a higher salary than he earns in the Premier League? Liverpool are laughing."

However, after the first three months of Dias coming to Bayern, it is now clear: So far, Eberl's decision on the winger position is completely correct. The evidence is: Dias's current goal participation data has exceeded Koeman's total last season (9 goals and 6 assists in 45 games). According to Dias' current state, Sane's data last season (13 goals and 6 assists in 48 games) is likely to be surpassed soon.

"Bild" also stated that although Dias has started so well, he still has room for improvement: his red card in Paris was completely unnecessary and cast a shadow over his top performance. And: The winger has missed huge scoring opportunities on a number of occasions recently, when in fact he should have scored at least 5-10 more goals.
