PHOTO GALLERY: Overview of the situation that made Darwin Nunez a ‘joke’ after scoring for Liverpool

Darwin Nunez scored in the latest friendly but he caused Liverpool fans to question his handling.

The Liverpool players promptly pulled their troops to apply pressure on the Karlsruher field at the start of the friendly match. The German team’s goalie was under intense pressure and had to break up the ball.

Everything went according to The Kop’s plan when they easily recovered the ball.

The ball bounced back very quickly to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian star swung his foot to control the ball in the context of the opponent’s defence.

Salah’s touch is not perfect for him to make the next ball handling decision. However, that accidentally became a favorable pass to help Darwin Nunez break the offside trap and escape to face the goalkeeper.

No one stood in the way of Nunez when in front of him was only the goalkeeper. The Uruguayan possesses the space and time to launch a free-kick. Liverpool fans expect the former Benfica striker to score at this close range.

However, Nunez surprised the public. Instead of kicking the ball, the number 9 suddenly passed to Salah.

Nunez’s pass completely fixed Salah’s back, the player certainly felt surprised by the decision from his teammates.

The pass from Nunez was a bad decision because it almost wasted the entire ball. Fortunately, Salah still managed to pass it back to Nunez

The striker born in 1999 put his lap with his left foot and scored.

Despite being the one to break the deadlock, Nunez faced skepticism from Liverpool fans. A lot of people question why a striker lacks confidence, can’t hit a shot in the position facing the goalkeeper.

After a season of criticism, Nunez seems to have a psychological problem. He lacked the confidence to end the attack on his own. With the number 9 shirt on his back next season, the Uruguay star must work to improve himself in the future.
