Klopp responds to comparisons between Nunez and Lewandowski

Darwin Núñez has won the hearts of many Liverpool fans, but questions remain about his goal-scoring ability and after our win against Leicester City, Jurgen Klopp was asked to compare the Uruguayan’s start at Anfield to earlier Robert Lewandowski’s days at Dortmund when he was the boss. .

The 55-year-old said: “First of all, I don’t think it’s too fair to compare the forwards now with Robert Lewandowski, he will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time, but yes, that’s right: his start He was a little rusty and wasted opportunities like crazy and especially in training…

“I really hope that no one at work [Nunez] he’s been judged early and finally and he says ‘it’s just not good enough’, in my team that will never happen and I see all the positive signs I need to be completely calm.

It’s no surprise to hear that the German has the full support of his No.27, he is fully aware that his level of performance has been fantastic and it won’t be long before the goals start pouring in for the former Benfica man.

Perhaps we can look back a few years from now and a shaky start at a new club is not the only comparison we can make between our new striker and the legendary Polish striker.
