Conventional wisdom would dictate Arne Slot would want as many of his top stars with him as soon as possible this Liverpool pre-season - but not Darwin Nunez
Conventional wisdom dictates Arne Slot wants as many of his top stars with him as soon as possible this Liverpool pre-season.
That strike was the Liverpool's star's ninth in his last six appearances for his national side, further showcasing the impressive strides he has made under the careful watch of Marcelo Bielsa, who took charge 13 months ago. Nunez is now averaging a goal every two games for his national side with a record that stands at 12 in 24.
Nunez's contribution of 18 goals and 13 assists across all competitions was a respectable haul but his final effort of the campaign came on April 4, when a poor clearance from goalkeeper Ivo Grbic struck him on the backside in a 3-1 win over Sheffield United. An 11-game stretch without a goal or assist was how the South American ended his season under Jurgen Klopp.
A player seemingly transformed under the guidance of the enigmatic and iconic Bielsa, Nunez's only shortcoming, according to his national boss at least, is an inability to remain consistent with his considerable talents. "You have to know what it means to play for Liverpool and who he competes with, and what his cycles were like, when he converted, when he stopped converting, why he stopped converting. These are things that he manages in proportion to the place he occupies in the football world.
