Jurgen Klopp, the manager, has issued a stern warning to this Liverpool player, who earns £180,000 a week, emphasizing the imperative need for an enhanced level of play.

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has come to the defense of Darwin Núñez after the forward faced criticism for his inability to score in the 4-1 victory against Chelsea.

In a match where Núñez took an impressive 11 shots, he made Premier League history by becoming the first player to hit the woodwork four times in a single game. Despite his penalty kick in the first half hitting the post, Núñez showcased resilience and still managed to contribute by assisting Luis Díaz in scoring Liverpool’s fourth goal, extending their lead in the league to five points. This season, Núñez has accumulated 11 goals and 11 assists from 34 games.

In the aftermath of the match, Klopp acknowledged Núñez’s disappointment with the missed penalty at halftime but commended the forward for the numerous chances he creates. Klopp expressed confidence that it’s only a matter of time before Núñez starts scoring more consistently.

“Remarkable first half, truly exceptional,” Klopp praised. “Why do we discuss Darwin? Simply because he had so many opportunities where he didn’t convert. Despite the challenges, Núñez’s overall performance and his contribution to Liverpool’s victory did not go unnoticed, and Klopp remains optimistic about the forward’s future performances.

“It’s the first time since we’ve been keeping track that a player hits the woodwork four times in a single game. Now, put yourself in his shoes, imagine how that feels. Then missing a penalty, you could see at halftime he was really frustrated with himself.

“And then missing a close-range header, but then providing an assist for a goal. He remains focused. There’s never been a striker who couldn’t walk properly and everyone wonders, ‘What is he doing?’ and ultimately becomes the image of himself. That’s just how it works.

“It’s remarkable that he creates so many chances. Just imagine if he converted them all. The numbers would be absolutely staggering, to the point where we wouldn’t comprehend it anymore, so it’s normal.

“For us, it’s not crucial. We scored four goals, who cares if we could have scored a fifth or sixth? It’s truly insignificant. We need to win football matches, and he will score, he’s already scored.

“And providing a crucial assist at a really important moment, for the fourth goal, because 3-2 or 4-1, that’s a significant difference. That’s what makes him the player he is for us, and the rest will follow, without a doubt.”
