The 23-year-move, old’s however, hasn’t exactly gone according to plan thus far, as Nunez has only scored twice in all competitions—once against Manchester City in the Community Shield and once against Fulham on the first day of the Premier League.
In an effort to address the Uruguayan’s recent slump, Klopp paired him up offensively with Diogo Jota during Liverpool’s 2-0 Champions League victory over Rangers. Nunez claims he is having trouble getting adjusted to the German accent when speaking in English.
He admitted to not understanding what Klopp says when speaking to ESPN Vivo.
Despite his best efforts, Nunez was unable to break his goalless streak against Rangers on Tuesday night. Goalkeeper Allan McGregor repeatedly denied him, and manager Klopp was pleased with the way that Nunez adjusted to his demands. Nunez will undoubtedly have a bright future at Anfield.
We can see that, the Kop manager stated. To be honest, considering that they had only worked on it for one session, the way the boys in the front moved together was excellent.
Never before have we done it. We’ve only played for a short while, so our last practice was low-intensity.
“You saw what a great striker he [Nunez] is to be in such circumstances all the time. Everyone could see tonight that this would occur. it’s all good.
After a “long chat,” Darwin Nunez’s situation at Liverpool might be about to alter.
Private conversation between Darwin Nunez and Jurgen Klopp on appraisal and launch failure
Nunez has another opportunity to end his goal-scoring drought this weekend, but his Liverpool team will have a difficult task against the league’s current leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
It is unclear if he will keep his spot in the starting lineup given that attacking teammate Roberto Firmino scored twice in the 3-3 draw at Anfield against Brighton & Hove Albion last time out.
Nunez has only appeared in the opening two Premier League games, and he missed three games after receiving a red card against Crystal Palace for headbutting Joachim Andersen.
