Darwin Nunez, a match-winning striker for Liverpool, has the support of Alisson Becker and is expected to achieve great things at Anfield.
Darwin Nunez has been receiving advice from Liverpool players, according to Alisson Becker, who also thinks the striker is just beginning to realize his “huge” potential.
On Sunday afternoon, Nunez came off the bench to score a late double and give the 10-man Reds a thrilling 2-1 Premier League victory at Newcastle United.
The Uruguayan, who joined Liverpool from Benfica for a club-record £85 million last summer, has struggled to get playing time since April due to poor form, injuries, and competition for attacking positions. As a result, he has only started three of the team’s current unbeaten streak’s 14 games.
And Alisson has emphasized Nunez’s popularity among the team and fans as well as the importance of understanding the value of patience.
He needs to be discussed, the goalie stated. “He came up with two incredible objectives. Finishing those two scenarios wasn’t simple. However, he accomplished it in a remarkable manner.
“This man is incredible. He started off with high expectations for his performances from fans, from everyone, from his teammates, and from us since he is so talented. Although he is still young, he has a lot of potential. He requires time.
We must be patient with him and offer him support in a way that he perceives as such. We are genuinely there for him, there for him in the tough times, there for the South Americans, there for all the teammates, there for him.
Everyone cheers “Nunez! Nunez!” whenever he enters a game, and we also joke around with him about how everyone adores him. But I repeatedly reminded him that everyone at Liverpool cares about him and is rooting for him to succeed. I believe he is being patient and demonstrating that.
However, this player has a fire within of him that drives him to play more and make crucial decisions for the club. It’s not a self-centered idea. He only genuinely wants to assist the squad in accomplishing great feats, winning matches, and taking home trophies. I hope he can continue performing at this level moving forward because this is the mentality you can expect from Darwin.
On Sunday, Liverpool trailed Anthony Gordon’s goal by one goal after Virgil van Dijk’s dismissal after 28 minutes left them down to 10 men. Alisson, however, made a series of stops to keep the Reds in the game for a late intervention.
