This morning, we had to look for in the English press to find articles evoking the draw for the Champions League to Liverpool and a possible shock against Paris Saint-Germain in 1/8th finals. Indeed, it is especially the face of Darwin Nuñez (6 goals and 5 assists in 35 appearances all competitions this season, note) which is displayed in one of the various sports media this Friday, February 21. For what reason you will tell me? Well Uruguayan is at the center of the debates among the Reds, where his attitude was publicly pointed out by his coach Arne Slot. The latter was very annoyed by the entry into the game of his player in the 2-2 draw against Aston Villa Wednesday evening in the Premier League.
Arne Slot cropped her publicly
“I will tell him that he can miss an opportunity, but he cannot fail to make the efforts. It is the life of an attacker. He will miss opportunities and mark them. This is part of the work of a number 9. You miss when people expect you to mark. But that is not part of the work of a number 9 to slow down the pace of work. And that's something we'll talk about. I can accept each failure, especially from a player who scored two very important goals in Brentford and scored for us during the home match against Villa. I would prefer him to mark, but the word 'luck' says everything. It is a chance, therefore not 100 % that it comes in. I can accept the failures, but what is more difficult for me to accept is his behavior after the occasion. It was too much in his head. He was not the usual Darwin, who works hard and ensures to help the team. It was too disappointed to have missed this chance. ”
A cropping that was not at all of the attacker's taste, who published a message on his social networks. He also had to go there three times before publishing the right message, which made the laugh Daiy Mail Who indicated that he is not even able to reach his target from his first attempt as in match. But finally, he succeeded and wrote: “Three weeks ago, Darwin was the best, Darwin gave us the three points. But yesterday, I was unlucky to miss a goal and I am once again the 'worse' and a flop. I don't fall, I get up and I will never give up. I will give everything until the last day in Liverpool. Resilience! “ The whole thing was accompanied by an emoji “muscle” and a photo of him celebrating a goal against the Bees.
Towards a divorce this summer?
Nuñez was able to count on the support of his compatriot Luis Suarez, former Liverpool. “Of course, Goleador, that's how I love you!” It is attitude, always positive. Let's go! “wrote the former of Barça. But he is alone in the camp of Darwin Nuñez support. Many Reds fans have been very critical of it. This is explained by Liverpool Echowho specifies that “Nunez's attitude was criticized by Kop fans after the broadcast of a video showing him heading alone in the Villa Park tunnel at the final whistle, while his teammates applauded the supporters on the move.Some have also spoke in the columns of Sun. “It's over. I don't like his attitude at all after the match. ”
Another pointed out: “I can agree to miss open goals, but Nuñez was walking most of the time on the field. Shocking attitude. “ All this also questions the future of the Celeste striker in Liverpool, where his lease officially ends in June 2028. Indeed, The Sun indicates that Arne Slot may well try to get rid of it this summer 2025. Ditto for the Daily Mailwho explains that he arrives at a turning point in his adventure in England. “Sources close to Liverpool stress that he is a hard worker in training despite the external perception. He wants to live up to his potential more than anyone, although the interest of Saudi Arabia to ask himself if it is now or never for number 9. ” Liverpool, who notably tracks Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, already has a little idea about the issue.
