In the preview of the match against Arsenal (Sunday, 4.30 pm), Jurgen Klopp was invited to comment on Darwin Núñez’s adaptation. The striker started against Rangers and had four chances to score but ended up failing to overtake veteran Allan McGregor and received advice from the Liverpool manager.
“I think Darwin himself said he feels the pressure, but he has to calm down. His movements 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 it easy and do what he knows. As a striker you have to have that sense, not change things, but start feeling it, “he explained.
And as for the statements in which Darwin revealed that he did not understand anything of what Klopp was saying, the Liverpool manager devalued.
“He doesn’t speak English, he can tell Good morning [bom dia], here we go [vamos!] and little else. He is a child, with confidence, but he is not yet a grown man, I think we all know that. You have to grow up as a man, but he is normal. The fact that he said he didn’t understand anything I was saying, he already knew. The same happened to Roberto Firmino and other players. In fact, perhaps a large 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 everything is fine. “
