“The difference for me from the outside. That when he goes to Uruguay, he knows he is a number nine, he doesn’t play in any other role. It doesn’t matter if Luis Suarez is in the team or not, the number nine Darwin Nunez,” Poyet said.
When he plays for Liverpool, he doesn’t know if he’s a number nine.
One game it looks like he’s playing there. The next week he’s playing in a different role and in midweek it’s different again. I think sometimes players need to feel like, ‘I’m a number nine, I’ve got to hold the ball up and I’m going to score 25 goals. But then it doesn’t make sense. When you’re playing wide and you have to change your role to almost a winger in the next game.”
“That’s what he with the national team. I think he’s very confident because he’s always playing in the same position. He knows what he has to do and what he has to adjust to play in that position.”
The 25-year-old striker moved to Liverpool from Benfica in 2022. Playing a total of 96 games in all competitions, scoring 33 goals.
