Liverpool’s Champions League win over Rangers has helped ease the pain of a vacillating start to the season for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Despite reinforcements to keep the team battling for titles, the results aren’t the best and are causing unease to the Beatles fans.
While players have been criticized for very specific mistakes, Jurgen Klopp is beginning to see a lack of confidence in his work.

But the issue among the fans after winning the continental competition concerns Darwin Nunez. In an interview with ESPN after the victory over the Scots, he revealed a misunderstanding inside the locker room.
“The truth, frankly, in the conversations he’s talking about, I don’t understand anything. I ask my teammates what he’s saying. I think his game is very clear. He asks us to keep things simple, not to be afraid to play, to trust each other and when we lose a ball We press. That’s what he always asks for,” the Uruguayan striker replied.
Although Núñez tried to explain what the strategist’s instructions were as much as possible, the statement he made at the beginning of his intervention could be one of the problems that affects the team’s behavior on the field: if the coach gives an accurate response and not everyone understands, the disintegration and confusion that It costs games and points.
It is normal for the newcomer to be unfamiliar with the English language after such a short time in the UK, but he is not alone. The case is similar to Colombian Luis Diaz, who also arrived from Portugal, from Porto, less than a year ago and will be taking lessons to improve himself in the local language.
The normal question in this situation would be whether the responsibility of the club and the Klopp project then is to ensure that messages get to all players correctly, perhaps by hiring an interpreter who presents them with ideas and is also able to clarify or clarify even doubts. It remains to be seen the reactions that Nunez’s words generate.
As he tries to improve communication with his men, Klopp will take a test of fire at the weekend when Premier League leaders Liverpool face Arsenal away from home in a bid to lock in the London side’s currently 11-point lead.
