Liverpool record signing Darwin Nunez has opened up on the difficulties of understanding instructions from manager, Jurgen Klopp, and his red card against Crystal Palace.
In an interview with TNT Sports, Nunez said; “The truth is, I honestly don’t understand anything when he talks.” In reference to receiving instructions from Klopp.
The Uruguayan also spoke highly of the Liverpool squad, adding; “It was a little difficult to adapt, but I believe that I will adapt little by little. I have the support of my team-mates.”
The striker has struggled to find his feet since his £86million move to Liverpool from SL Benfica in the summer, not scoring since his Premier League debut in a 2-2 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage at the start of August.
His issues weren’t helped by a stupid red card against Crystal Palace on his home debut, in which Nunez landed a headbutt on Palace defender Joachim Andersen which led to a three-game suspension.
Darwin labelled this in his interview with TNT Sports as a ‘very tough time’ and has acknowledged he has to ‘calm his nerves during the game and talk less’.
The 23-year-old will be looking to build on his promising performance against Rangers if given the chance against Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday.
