🗣 “I was on a skiing trip with my wife Danielle when, during dinner, our sporting director called me," said Lijnders. "'You and Jurgen have to speak with Luis Diaz in five minutes. We’ve just agreed with Porto but Tottenham are all-in as well.'
🗣 Lijnders: “I joined the call and Jurgen was explaining to Luis how he would fit into our style and that we would help him.
🗣Lijnders: “He said in reference to me joining (the call) 'but you will hear this guy much more often!' to which I immediately said 'but I will explain things more calmly than Sergio (Conceicao, the Porto manager)!', to which Luis laughed.
🗣 Lijnders: "I told him: 'We want you desperately and have been pushing for the last one-and-a-half months with our owners and our sporting director, but you know that these kinds of transfers are not easy to accomplish.
🗣Lijnders: “The good thing is you will train with Virgil, Robbo and Trent and they will make you so much stronger. Our idea is to create and score; you will have to tear these guys apart each day in training, which will make you better'.”
