Failed To Print Goal In Front Of The Eyes When Oppositing Ajax, Darwin Nunez Combined With Andy Carroll
JAKARTA - Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez became the target of bullying netizens after the Reds won 2-1 over Ajax Amsterdam in the Champions League.
Netizens who are also suspected to be Liverpool supporters were upset that the 23-year-old player failed to score in a very favorable situation. Some even say it is very easy to break into the opponent's goal under these conditions.
Nunez entered the field in the 66th minute replacing Diogo Jota during the second match of Group A of the 2022/2023 Champions League, Wednesday, September 14, early in the morning.
Jurgen Klopp hopes Nunez can break the deadlock and score in a draw. However, the manager's hope could not be realized by the 23-year-old player.
Nunez actually several times committed non-essential violations and her operations often deviated.
The most in the spotlight was when the former Benfica player failed to complete the golden opportunity in the penalty box.
In the 83rd minute, Mohamed Salah had provided a very pampering pass. However, unfortunately Nunez, who was in an unguarded position in Ajax's penalty box, failed to convert the golden opportunity.
His shot with the inside leg actually sideways on the right side of the Ajax goal. That moment made Salah hold his head because he was excited to see Nunez fail to score.
This situation not only made Salah excited but also spread to netizens who actually made fun of Nunez's appearance.
100 million euros, 3 big chances are missed every game. A total of 15 free kicks happen because of that every game. Collecting more red cards than goals. Darwin Nunez, the greatest failure of all time," said the upset netizen.
Because of Nunez's appearance, a number of other netizens also began to equalize this Uruguayan player with Andy Carroll, who has a track record as the failed striker Liverpool has ever recruited.
"Anyone who calls Darwin Nunez 'Andy Carroll' deserves a salary increase," wrote one netizen.
"Nunez, this is the real Darwin Nunez," another netizen said while uploading a photo of Andy Carroll.
Luckily Nunez's poor performance didn't affect the team. Liverpool still won after Joel Matip's header in the 89th minute shaking Ajax's net while ensuring Liverpool's 2-1 win.
