JAKARTA - Darwin Nunez's performance has recently been in the spotlight. Purchased at an expensive price, the Uruguayan has not shown his sharpness as a striker.

Most recently when Liverpool lost to RB Salzburg, last Wednesday. In that match, the Reds fell 0-1 and Darwin Nunez failed to score.

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp assesses, this is not solely Darwin Nunez's fault. According to him, the former Benfica player still needs more support from his teammates.

"Darwin is alone too often, everything is far and wide and leaves Darwin alone in the (penalty) box," Klopp said, as quoted by Antara via Sky Sports.

Klopp considered, Darwin Nunez actually had the opportunity to score against Salzburg. However, none of his colleagues kept the opposing defenders busy so that the striker was not free.

Darwin Nunez was brought in by Liverpool from Benfica with a tag of £85 million or around Rp. 1.5 trillion. However, Liverpool will pay £64 million upfront.

The rest will be awarded if the player is able to meet the requirements, including the number of goals and success in winning the Champions League.

Darwin Nunez's sharpness will be tested again in the Community Shield when Liverpool face Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, London, next Saturday.
