Liverpool pleaded with Luis Suarez to speak to Darwin Nunez about his early form for the Reds.
Nunez had a difficult time last season adjusting to Anfield. Despite scoring 15 goals across all competitions, the 24-year-old’s lack of confidence was evident.
It’s been a different tale this year. Nunez is content and rejuvenated, indicating significant progress on this field. Furthermore, it appears that Liverpool star Suarez may have contributed to the reversal, according to an interview he gave to ESPN Argentina this week.
The Gremio attacker said, “I told Darwin about [taking] the number 9 [for Uruguay] in Qatar and we always talked about it before.” “His physical prowess, technical aptitude, and potential all point to that.
As a teammate, I am not shocked since, up until last year, when I communicated with him because he was having trouble in Liverpool, they had told me to speak with him. I gave him a heads-up and explained what English football was. We talked about it after he opened up to me about what had happened to him at that very moment. I told him I wanted him to take it with me when I left.
Darwin speaks with complete sincerity in his statements, which is why you should listen to him. As a coworker, I’m pleased for him; prior to the Brazil match, we had internal discussions about it. We are pleased to have each other as teammates because we are unique and come from different generations. I’m also glad he is currently a member of the national team and living in his club.
Nunez chat revealed by Suarez
The news that Suarez has been mentoring and conversing with Nunez while he’s been at Liverpool comes as no surprise. In actuality, this isn’t the first time the 37-year-old has demonstrated this behaviour in public.
However, it’s intriguing to learn that Liverpool personally contacted Luis and requested his assistance.
Suarez was probably already offering it nonetheless. Even before Darwin moved to Liverpool, the two were teammates for Uruguay, and the veteran’s Anfield background will probably have given him an even stronger bond with the younger player.
Still, it’s noteworthy that the Reds are going to question their former No. 7. You better make use of your ear when it belongs to one of the best forwards of all time.
Nunez appears to be accomplishing just that thus far. As evidenced by his previous embarrassing mistakes against Toulouse and Luton Town, he is still far from faultless. He’s getting there, though.
This past weekend served as yet another illustration of the former Benfica player’s progress. Despite not having a point against Brentford, he essentially controlled the game.
Nunez was the driving force behind everything Liverpool accomplished, from setting up Mohamed Salah’s first goal to having two incredible finishes disallowed for offside.
Suarez was teasing around Anfield ten years ago, doing the exact same thing. It’s too soon to tell if Darwin will ever get to those heights. But his chances of succeeding are considerably higher now that Luis is on his side.
