The Liverpool front gave Darwin Nuñez the greatest plaudits following the victory over Ajax. On Wednesday night, the Uruguayan forward teased the Amsterdam defence and was accountable for Liverpool’s second goal of the game.
Darwin Nuñez praised by Robertson and Klopp
For Darwin Nuñez, things weren’t always easy, which may have improved his performance. Nuñez, received a crucial opportunity soon after Mohamed Salah scored the game’s first goal, but he still chose to pass it up. “Darwin was ‘extremely furious with himself’ for missing that chance,” according to Andy Robertson, who spoke to BT Sport at halftime.
“I promised him I’d deliver a cross to his head so he could score, but I don’t think he comprehended what I said. And that’s what occurred.” The Scotland captain said, “Five minutes after halftime, Nuñez headed in a corner from Robertson via the inside of the post for the 0-2 that ended the game early.
Manager Jürgen Klopp reflected on his team’s triumph, saying, “We had a difficult first half hour where Ajax placed a lot of pressure on us and we had to defend with a lot of fight.” “We had to return to a diamond-shaped system. We took that action to prevent Darwin from continuously being on the flank.
Klopp took the time to flood with compliments to the player. Who was transferred from Benfica for 75 million euros last summer. Klopp mentioned, “He had a very good game, both ways. He played today from the heart, and I really appreciated it.”
Following the victory at the Johan Cruijff Arena, Liverpool will concentrate on a Premier League match against Leeds United at home. The Reds’ performance in the English league remains patchy. Following a convincing victory over Manchester City a week prior, Liverpool fell to Nottingham Forest last weekend (1-0). They will have to face Spurs and the Saints in the league before the Prem pauses for the World Cup.
