Open shots that went over the top alone in the box, easy passes that went the opposite way and went over the sideline, a well-positioned attempt to score where they missed hitting the ball. The debut of Darwin Núñez, Liverpool’s great signing for the new season, was not exactly the happiest in the defeat against Manchester United and the victory against Crystal Palace. And the criticism, as is almost “normal” in this type of situation, spread through social networks, in some cases as if they were almost doomed to fail. However, the return of reds to Europe after the tour of Thailand and Singapore was almost a sacred remedy for reply to all this photo that was being created.
The empty stomach, the injury that made him think about quitting and that quote from Klopp: Darwin’s path to being Liverpool’s most expensive reinforcement
“I see that his companions already looked for him. It was only his third pre-season session and I think after the third pique his lungs were about to burst. We almost killed him with deep balls but he responded and his team-mates wanted to pass the ball to him. He was dangerous. Darwin has blisters on his feet. We have all been through this. It’s very painful,” said Jürgen Klopp during his tour of Asia, in response to criticism of the Uruguayan.

I know it’s going to be and it’s always fun for some people to take and make fun of looking less than good. It is my responsibility Help Darwin reach his full potential. I don’t doubt his potential and now we have to help him to fulfill it as soon as possible, ”added the coach.

Now, in the third pre-season friendly played on German soil, Liverpool led RB Leipzig 1-0 at half-time with a goal from Salah when the former Benfica striker replaced Roberto Firmino. The results were almost instantaneous: the Egyptian, official author of the penalties for the runners-up in Europe and England, offered the possibility to Darwin Núñez to score a penalty right at the beginning of the second half (48 ‘) and that goal, despite the fact that Blaswich, who was also in the German goal, replacing the usual starter Gulásci, having touched the ball, ended up releasing the striker .

“I don’t know if there is any clause in Salah’s new contract to be very generous but he gave Darwin the penalty and Pandora’s Box has been opened. It’s a perfect night for him. People think that because we pay so much for the players they don’t feel pressure but they are normal human beings. They read what is written on social networks and sometimes they get anxious. It was obviously the best way to end these discussions. He is a different striker than we have ever had,” Klopp told the club’s channel.
