Nunez, who scored 18 goals for the Reds last term alongside 13 assists, now has 12 in 24 since making his debut for Uruguay in 2019

Asked if he was worried about Nunez missing chances, despite his impressive recent scoring run, the former Leeds boss said his No.9 does not need any extra advice or backing behind the scenes but hoped the consistency could stay in his game.

"Darwin is a player who doesn't need any kind of support,"

"You have to know what it means to play for Liverpool and who he competes with, and what his cycles were like, when he converted, when he stopped converting, why he stopped converting.

“These are things that he manages in proportion to the place he occupies in the football world.

“The only thing that worries me is that he is able to do what he does in an extraordinary way as many times as possible, which is converting, defining, finishing the actions, choosing where he should direct the shot that provides the right conditions to execute it.”

"I insist, it would be a contradiction for me to say that what has value are the goals because I am saying the opposite.

“What is the best way to accompany that where he does not need company because he has shown that he can solve it on his own? Trying to give him a lot of balls to score goals.”

“More than anything, you always need the support of your team-mates,”

“I think that in the national team today we have a beautiful group, a group that if a player is bad, we know that references like Luis Suárez are going to come, who is always there, giving advice.

“I always try to get together with him, to talk about football things, about his past.

“He is always there to give me advice and I take everything as positive and try applying it.”
