Jurgen Klopp praised Darwin Nunez's work against Newcastle

Jurgen Klopp, coach of the English team Liverpool, spoke about Darwin Nunez's performance in the win against Newcastle, and the criticism that the Uruguayan receives on social media.

Liverpool beat Newcastle 4-2 in the Premier League on Monday, in a match in which Núñez provided an assist for Mohamed Salah's goal, although he was unable to convert it. Klopp explained in statements to Sky Sports: “Darwin had two chances, and I would say that 99.9% of the players would have tried to finish the game themselves, but he left it to Salah, and this is very special.”

When asked about Nunez's moment, and if he was seen frustrated by being substituted in a new match in which he was unable to score goals, the German coach was very clear: “I don't know what you're talking about.” “Of course he wasn't happy about not scoring goals, but I saw him on the bench, I saw how involved he was in the game, biting his nails with VAR decisions. Football is a fairly simple game, you have to put the ball in the goal, but around that, the boys have to Doing a lot of things. We were talking after the game that it was 100% the right decision for him to play because he kept Sven Botman and Fabian Schar together, and that created space for everything else. It's completely different, for example, if Cody Jacobo was playing there, or whatever “We needed it there. As long as Darwin has moments like the one he had in this game, all is well.” I don't know how many goals he has scored this season, but there are a lot, and he will score more and there is no doubt about that.The coach said.

Klopp also referred to the criticism directed at the Uruguayan on social media, and said that Nunez is “in good condition” and has something to recover from. All this because they ask us; They are questioning him on social media and it bothers him a little. We understand that, however He's fine, no need to worry about Darwin, he played a very good game and settled the game with a wonderful and generous pass for Salah's goal.DT said.
