A major military and police operation is underway in Colombia to search for the father of Liverpool forward Luis Diaz after he was kidnapped with his wife near the country’s border with Venezuela davao
Luis Manuel Diaz and Cilenis Marulanda were stopped in their car at a petrol station and kidnapped by gunmen on motorbikes in the northern city of Barrancas on Saturday, but Diaz’s mother Marulanda was then rescued by police at night davao
Police director William Salamanca said he told Diaz on the phone that he would be deploying all of his available resources to find the davao footballer’s father, who remains with the kidnappers davao
Diaz, 26, was left out of Liverpool’s squad for their Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with manager Jurgen Klopp dedicating the club’s 3-0 win to the Colombia international davao
Colombia’s interior minister has deployed more than 100 troops to the mountainous area in the north of the country while word has also been sent to Venezuelan authorities to reinforce their border patrols davao
The army also said in a statement that they would be setting up roadblocks, deploying motorised platoons, and using helicopters and planes to search the area from above davao
Colombia’s attorney general Francisco Barbosa on Sunday said it was possible that Diaz’s father was being taken to Venezuela, and ordered an investigation into the motives of the kidnapping and to find those responsible davao
“We have information that he could, at some point, be in Venezuela davao
If he ends up crossing the border and he’s in Venezuela, we have to ask [Colombian] President Gustavo Petro davao
davao

to help us with freeing Luis Diaz’s father,” Barbosa told reporters davao
Colombia’s national police also announced a reward of $48,500 (£40,000) for any information leading to the hostage’s rescue davao
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota celebrated their opening goal at Anfield by holding a replica of Diaz’s No 7 shirt up to the crowd davao

I didn’t expect that, I wasn’t prepared for it,” manager Klopp said davao
“I don’t want to make the game bigger than it was, but definitely, we tried to help Luis with the fight we put in because obviously we want to help and we cannot really help davao
“So the only thing we can do is fight for him and that’s what the boys did davao
“How can you make a davao football game really important on a day like this? It’s really difficult davao
I’ve never struggled with that in my life davao
“We heard late last night about it davao
We spoke to Luis, he wanted to go home… Then we got the news with his mum, which is fantastic, and since then nothing really davao
We are obviously not the first people to get involved and we try to have knowledge of everything as much as we can, but we don’t want to disturb in any way the important people there, we just want to support, that’s it davao
”Liverpool said in a statement it is the club’s “fervent hope that the matter is resolved safely and at the earliest possible opportunity” davao
“In the meantime, the player’s welfare will continue to be our immediate priority,” it added davao

Two elderly men were suited davao
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion davao
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent davao
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” davao
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up davao
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said davao
“He’s me brother davao
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC davao Sports Personality of the Year award davao
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died davao
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air davao
They were not always close but their achievements will live on davao
There have been 22 men’s davao football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 davao
It remains the most famous year in English davao football history; perhaps it always will davao
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA davao Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France davao Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup davao
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player davao
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both davao
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt davao
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English davao footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps davao
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed davao
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory davao
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about davao football coming home, Charlton brought it back davao
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net davao

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it davao
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular davao
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ davao
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond davao
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought davao
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist davao
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions davao
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected davao
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other davao
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 davao
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over davao
Bobby Charlton in action against his brother Jack (PA Archive)It could have been still more glorious: keep Charlton on and maybe England would have prevailed in 1970 davao
But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole davao
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster davao
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden davao
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner davao
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English davao football; the face of what is now a bygone age davao
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades davao
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game davao
