Darwin Nunez: Class mixed with… comedy

In the 65th minute, Darwin Nunez had an unbelievable miss, and just 1 minute later, he was taken off the field. Coach Jurgen Klopp is angry with his student? No, he is happy because this funny guy is not enough!

Toulouse is the green army for Klopp’s students to practice shooting in the third match of the Europa League group stage. With such an underdog opponent, Klopp only launched a secondary squad, with Salah, Van Dijk, Alisson, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister on the bench. Players who do not have a guaranteed starting position like Nunez need to make the most of this opportunity to score a lot of points in the eyes of the German teacher.

And with 66 minutes on the field, Nunez fully displayed his best qualities, both positive and… negаtive. Nunez’s first half goal was great, but it was completely overshadowed by his unbelievable second half play .

Nunez had a solo performance on the left wing, passing the defender as well as goalkeeper Guillaume Restes, but in front of an empty goal, he Һit the post. Luckily for Nunez, teammate Ryan Gravenberch scored Liverpool’s fourth goal shortly afterward. 

Nunez and the miss of the yearNunez and the miss of the yearOne fan commented: “Nunez brought a really interesting moment, dribbling like Messi and finishing like… Lukaku.” After that ball, Nunez could only laugh. Luckily, he had scored a goal before, otherwise he would have had to “disappear” to stop being embarrassed.

But besides being a satirical subject for netizens, Nunez still completely convinced Klopp. “Nunez played amazingly,” Klopp shared. “Honestly, right now, I don’t think I could care less if he Һit the post at that moment because everything before that was extremely convincing.

Nunez was absolutely brilliant, the way he got past the defender and the goalkeeper, it was a perfect situation. He played very well and did many things for the team. Really pleased with Nunez’s performance. Yes, it was a bit funny when the ball didn’t go in but Ryan was able to finish and score.”

Klopp is right, what everyone needs to care about is Nunez’s previous performance. All the best qualities of this guy are shown, from speed, technique, strength to aggressiveness and courage. The way Nunez puts pressure with both actions and… words makes the opponent tremble.

Nunez still lacks a bit of classNunez still lacks a bit of class

On a sublime day, Nunez is a combination of the speed of Fernando Torres and the cunning of Luis Suarez. It’s just that he still lacks a bit of the pragmatism of these two seniors. Nunez’s head is still too “adventurous”, easily taking him into a surreal realm and forgetting the present. Nunez plays with great inspiration, but often lets his emotions dominate, leading to completely opposite moves in the same action sequence.

Anyway, with his potential, Nunez is still a precious gem. With careful honing, Nunez will develop even more. The price of more than 80 million pounds that Liverpool once paid for Nunez is no longer considered expensive by many people!
