Darwin Nunez has received praise from Jurgen Klopp for his defensive play, with the Liverpool manager noting a significant improvement in the forward’s presence at the back.
The 24-year-old striker, who scored again today as Liverpool defeated West Ham 3-1, was complimented by the Anfield manager in a statement to the media via the Daily Mail’s Lewis Steele.
Alexis Mac Allister created a beautiful move that Nunez completed, and Klopp was impressed by the forward’s all-around performance.
The Uruguayan international has been among Liverpool’s top players this year, and Nunez’s efforts on the practice field are beginning to pay off for the Reds with some impressive outcomes.
Nunez did make a significant statement today by taking over as Liverpool’s primary attacker, and Klopp was quite pleased with what he saw from the striker.
Massive progress over the past few weeks, according to Klopp. He poses a risk. I believe his goal was a good one. Strong and readily available, he was. The main change is the defensive work he does today. Really nice.”
Nunez is now starting to perform at his peak under Klopp at Liverpool
Nunez, who spent his first year at Liverpool with promising early glimpses of brilliance, has already raised the bar on his performance this season.
The expansion of Nunez’s game under Klopp is only a good thing because the South American chaos maker has been fantastic for Liverpool this season.
Even if more supporters would want more from the striker, Nunez is currently doing a fantastic job and having his greatest season as a Liverpool player.
