Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed his gratitude towards the club’s fans for their unwavering support of striker Darwin Nunez. Despite Nunez’s struggles to find the back of the net this season, with only three goals in 19 appearances, Slot has consistently highlighted the Uruguayan’s work rate and overall contribution to the team.
In a recent press conference, Slot emphasized that Nunez’s impact goes beyond scoring goals. “If you only look at goals, he hasn’t scored as many as he wants to score or we want a number nine to score,” Slot said. “But he does have an impact in his work rate and that’s not just to prevent the other team from making a chance, but also for us when we lose the ball to be aggressive and we can get the ball back and create chances.”
Slot also acknowledged the special role Liverpool fans have played in boosting Nunez’s confidence. “Maybe because the fans support him so much, he wants it almost too much, to score that goal for the fans and for himself,” Slot added. “All the players feel the support of our fans but he’s definitely one of them.”
The Liverpool faithful have been vocal in their support for Nunez, often chanting his name during matches. This support has been crucial, especially during tough times when Nunez has faced criticism for his performances. “It definitely does get him going,” Slot remarked. “What I like about our fans is that they are not only supportive if it’s going really well for a player, but especially if he maybe needs that support and that’s what makes our fans so special in my opinion.”
Slot’s comments highlight the importance of a supportive fan base in a player’s development and performance. As Liverpool continues its campaign, the manager’s appreciation for the fans’ role in rallying behind Nunez serves as a reminder of the unique bond between a team and its supporters.
