After inquiries concerning Darwin Nunez’s long-term future at Anfield were made, Arne Slot spoke with the Uruguayan at the Copa America to let him know what role he sees him playing for Liverpool the next season.
Darwin Nunez has been assured by Arne Slot that he will be a key member of Liverpool’s squad for the upcoming season.
Nunez lost patience with the Anfield supporters at the close of the previous season after going ten games without scoring. In a fit of pique, he removed every Instagram picture of him wearing a Liverpool uniform, igniting rumors that he intended to sign with Barcelona.
Since Nunez has scored twice in his last three games at the Copa America and Barcelona lacks the funds to acquire him, Slot has communicated with the Uruguayan star and told him he sees him as a key member of Liverpool. Slot has instructed him where he should play after pointing out the various attacking roles he held under former manager Jurgen Klopp.
The head coach of Liverpool remarked, “I just told him that, from what I saw, he played multiple positions and what positions – or position – I see him playing.” Because I like him, I think he’ll fit right in with this playing style. He’s one of the players I’ve spoken to, and I’ve already told him that.
“He may have occasionally struggled to complete plays, but he frequently found himself in those situations. He seems like he would fit right in, however at a team like this, there are usually a lot more players that can play in his position.
“He knows exactly what position he wants to play. He was made aware of it by my informing him, and it’s evident to me as well.
Nunez, according to Slot, fits into the Reds’ aggressive strategy. He also disclosed that he witnessed his team play live in February 2017 when they defeated Tottenham 2-0 at Anfield. Former Reds No. 2 and his friend Pep Lijnders welcomed Slot, who was then the coach of the Dutch team Cambuur Leeuwarden, to Anfield and
He said, “I felt like I fit in at the club.” “That was prior to them winning the Champions League and Premier League under Jurgen. Even though the team wasn’t winning titles at the time, everyone was happy.
Slot hopes to build on Klopp’s achievements at Anfield and lead them to victory once more.
“Winning and dominating the league should be our goals,” he stated. “We hope to attend 38 games.
But it takes a lot of everyday effort to come in here and improve and improve and improve in order to reach to that place. That is what needs to be done.
