Ball – Klopp gives advice to Darwin Nunez: “You have to grow like a man” (Liverpool)

In the preview of the match with Arsenal (Sunday, at 16.30), Jurgen Klopp was invited to comment on the adjustment of Darwin Nunez. The striker started against Rangers and had four chances to score, but ended up failing to get past veteran Alan McGregor and took advice from the Liverpool boss.

“I think Darwin himself said he feels pressure, but he has to calm down. His moves are exceptional and if they saw him finish training they would be ‘Wow, my God!’ In games he rushes things sometimes when he needs to take things easy and do what he knows best. As a striker, you have to To understand that feeling, is not to change things, but to begin to feel it,” he explained.

And regarding statements in which Darwin revealed that he did not understand something Klopp said, the Liverpool boss has played down his value.

He doesn’t speak English, he can say good morning [bom dia]And the Let’s go [vamos!] And a few more. He’s a kid, confidently, but he’s not grown up yet, I think we all know that. You have to grow up as a man, but that’s normal. The fact that he said he didn’t understand anything I was saying, he already knew. The same thing happened to Roberto Firmino and other players. In fact, perhaps a big part of Firmino’s success was that he didn’t understand what I was saying,” he joked, explaining how he communicates with Darwin: “We have people on the technical team who speak Spanish, so it’s all right.”
