Ever since the Uruguayan made his 70 million move from Benfica to Liverpool with expectations sky-high and he has absolutely delivered in more than one way.
You can label him hot headed or unpredictable, but darwin Nunez is entertaining and a deadly goal threat when on the pitch, and the level of players he has around him will only elevate his game..
This rivalry with Haaland was inevitable as both are the hopes of the top two clubs in England.
Although Haaland currently has the world at his feet as Manchester City has provided him all he needs to fulfill his potential, it was Nunez who struck the first blow.
Thrown on as a substitute on a night Haaland was having a tough time. Nothing was going for him, he hit the post, he had chances saved, it just wasn’t going in.
Nunez comes on makes a run scores a header and takes his shirt off.
Twitter endlessly trolled Haaland that day saying he wasn’t going to survive the Premier league.
Twitter is full of FIFA players who check ratings on sofascore.com and pretend they watch football.
Haaland was always going to hump, and so was Nunez.
In 7 Premier League games for Liverpool, he has 3 goals and an assist. In 5 champions league games, he has two goals.
it is important to remember that the form of Roberto Firmino has forced Jurgen Klopp to play Darwin Nunez from the bench often as the Brazillian has rekindled his old flame and form.
he stumbled earlier in the season in a situation in which he got sent off against Crystal Palace for aggressive behavior. People called him hot headed and immature failing to account for the fact that the crystal Palace center back was frequently antagonizing him throughout the match.
are we in a footballing environment where the defender can talk shit then when squared up to the fully grown man throws himself to the ground like a noodle, and we praise him for being smart?
Nunez has been most impressive with his intense work rate, explosiveness, and unpredictability. The boy gets Anfield on its feet.
he recently broke the record for the fastest sprint ever in the Premier leagues history. Considering the number of pacy players the EPL has seen this shows the freakish athlete that darwin Nunez is.
he set the record with his time of 38 km/h.
He is currently on a run of 4 goals in 5 games for Liverpool and this is while assist king Trent Alexander Arnold hitting top form.
in such a short time under Klopp he has improved from a raw talent to such a refined attacker.
the best thing about Nunez right now is his mentality. He acknowledges he let the team down and has developed. He thinks the Premier League is the best league in the world and he is relishing playing for this Liverpool side, I’ll get my chin up and move.
The way things are going real fans knows the Haaland vs Nunez saga isn’t over yet.
