Liverpool is actively strategizing for Darwin Nunez’s future with the club, and recent footage suggests that the striker is off to an impressive start in his pre-season training.
Darwin Nunez, the 24-year-old forward who joined Liverpool from Benfica last summer, is making notable progress in his pre-season preparations. Despite having a promising first year at Anfield, there is still room for improvement as he aims to reach his full potential in the upcoming Premier League campaign.
Nunez rejoined Liverpool for pre-season training last week and has been excelling in the fitness drills, as showcased in the club’s social media updates. On Sunday, Liverpool shared a selection of images from their renowned lactate test. It went on to reveal Nunez’s surprising comfort compared to some of his teammates who appeared fatigued.
In one photo, Nunez was running ahead of Joe Gomez, who came second in Liverpool’s annual lactate test a few years ago, trailing behind James Milner. Remarkably, the Uruguayan forward showed no signs of struggle. Unlike players such as Fabinho and Joel Matip, who were clearly exerting more effort.
Liverpool also shared a video on Twitter featuring Nunez and his teammates preparing for a drill. In the footage, Nunez demonstrated a higher level of focus than expected. Additionally, it appears that he has improved his command of the English language over the summer. As he predominantly spoke Spanish during interviews and training sessions last season.
Nunez More Motivated than Ever for Liverpool
Prior to commencing the drill, Nunez urged his fellow Liverpool stars to maintain their high standards, stating in the video,
“[We’ve] finished our holiday, guys, come on.”
In his debut season at Liverpool, Nunez impressively scored 15 goals across all competitions. Establishing himself as a valuable option for Jurgen Klopp, either as a starter or a substitute. As the new campaign approaches, he is eager to fill the void of Roberto Firmino’s departure. However, it remains uncertain whether he can surpass his previous achievements.
Although Nunez is still a work in progress, he faced criticism from some fans throughout the last season for failing to live up to the hype that surrounded his arrival from Benfica. Nevertheless, Liverpool is committed to nurturing his talents. And allowing him time to reach his full potential in the coming months.
By providing the necessary support and patience, Liverpool aims to unlock Darwin Nunez’s true potential and enable him to become an integral part of the team’s success in the future.
