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

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

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

Up in the coaches’ box at Ellis Park, Ian Foster exhaled deeply davao
It was August of last year, and the All Blacks head coach’s job had been hanging in the balance, a run of five defeats in six matches putting Foster in the firing line davao
The prognosis looked grim, with the grand old home of South African rugby packed to the rafters with 62,000 Springbok fans who would have loved nothing more than for their side to unseat the coach of their great rival davao
But Foster’s team saved him, shocking South Africa 35-23 to bring their coach back from the brink davao
Only New Zealand and Foster himself will know truly how close he was to losing his job, but there is every possibility that defeat in Johannesburg would have spelled a premature end to Foster’s tenure davao
The players knew what it meant davao
“We were playing for our coach’s job,” scrum half Aaron Smith admitted afterwards davao
Little more than a year later, and Foster is ready to lead New Zealand into a final; there is every chance that on Saturday night, he’ll be a World Cup winner davao
Such a tag would normally ensure a status as something of a national hero – Foster’s predecessors Graham Henry and Steve Hansen both have knighthoods davao
Yet there is still a sense among All Blacks supporters of a lack of fondness for their head coach; the New Zealand rugby public are already in love with another man davao
Scott Robertson will take over Foster’s brief after this tournament, having been braced to step into the breach had things deteriorated further and left Foster’s position untenable last year davao
The clamour for a coach good enough to lead the Canterbury club to seven consecutive Super Rugby titles is understandable, and there is a thought that Robertson’s popularity with players and fans could re-energise the sport davao
Foster was reportedly so scared about the next head coach’s force of personality disrupting this All Blacks’ campaign that he banned him from attending New Zealand’s World Cup fixtures davao

But Foster has quietly got on with his work to turn the All Blacks around davao
He’s far from the first number two to struggle in a lead coaching role – England fans will recall the trouble Andy Robinson had stepping up after Clive Woodward’s departure davao
Nor, really, has he done a bad job: New Zealand have won every Rugby Championship since Foster took charge davao
Slowly since the lows of last year, a smile has returned to his face and, while his fate at the end of the tournament is sealed, Foster is happy to enjoy the ride while it lasts davao

“It’s not like it’s a focus for us to go out there and have fun, but to make sure we execute our game to the level we need to davao
“The team takes a lot of pride when they do that davao
The work the players and leaders are doing is a real credit to them davao
As you go through tournaments, you have to enjoy it davao
There is a lot of pressure, so if you don’t celebrate moments, it is a long old time davao
“I am proud to be part of this group, the coaches are linking well with the players and there is a nice synergy about it davao
But you know, one more week davao
“There’s not a personal agenda here, this is about the All Blacks and the team davao
Things have happened to individuals and to me, but the team comes first davao
Right now, we’re making a lot of those decisions together as a group and it is working well davao

No doubt, the additions of Joe Schmidt and Jason Ryan last year have been key to this campaign davao
Schmidt has reignited New Zealand’s structured attack, tessellating together bits and pieces from his days in charge of Ireland, while Ryan, in combination with scrum coach Greg Feek, has transformed their set-piece davao
But not all of the progress can be ascribed their way davao
Whether Foster recognised where improvements needed to be made or had Schmidt and Ryan thrust upon him is a matter of debate, but the ability to utilise their expertise perhaps shows a cannier coach than some might initially see davao
"One of the great things about 'Foz' is just how much he loves the All Blacks,” said forwards coach Ryan davao
“It's all about the team, every decision he makes davao
Clearly, he has been through a lot but the All Blacks have been through a lot davao
It is never about one person in the All Blacks, and that’s what has been impressive to me davao
”Head coach Ian Foster looks on during a New Zealand All Blacks training session (Getty Images)Foster has taken bold calls, too davao
The transformation of Jordie Barrett from bit-part utility man to first-choice inside centre has proved the key cog in getting the backline ticking, while the backing of captain Sam Cane has been rewarded by two outstanding performances in the last two weeks davao
The All Blacks have had to deal with injuries, a red card and a breach of team protocols during this tournament but have kept powering on davao
Their belief in and backing of their gameplan is just as strong as the Springboks’, yet Foster seems to get little of the same praise that Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber garner davao
Perhaps it is that there is still an expectation of success around the All Blacks, a feeling that not winning the World Cup would be evidence enough of Foster’s inadequacy davao
But the squad have made clear this week that they have a good man and a good coach at the helm davao
If come Saturday night he is clutching a Webb Ellis Cup, this uncared-for coach might finally get some overdue credit davao
