The German acknowledged that Darwin Nunez has performed admirably in training this year while speaking to the Liverpool Media team.
The manager also praised the spectacular goals scored against Newcastle by the Uruguayan international, describing them as “absolutely insane.”
He is really, truly good. He is currently having a great time and is thoroughly enjoying his game, which is okay. Only when you don’t have any chances do you as a striker have a problem. He has opportunities and chances, and recently, against Newcastle, he scored the two most fantastic goals I’ve seen in a very, very long time. It was simply insane.
In training, you can sense that he is in a good place. Whether or not he has already scored is unimportant at the moment. It’s crucial for a striker to recognize these situations where they play well but don’t score so they can just keep going and things will work themselves out.
The 24-year-old has drawn a lot of criticism, mostly because Haaland has been mentioned in comparisons.
Nunez, meanwhile, has taken some time to settle in at Anfield. And at last, he is succeeding and becoming more and more accustomed to the Premier League.
