Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wants Darwin Nunez to use the opposition’s defenders to his advantage. The Reds striker returns to the squad for Saturday’s Merseyside derby at Everton after serving a three-match ban for his red card on his home debut against Crystal Palace. The former Benfica player lost his temper and head-butted Joachim Andersen, which earned him an immediate dismissal in the August 15 clash. Darwin Nunez sent off against Crystal Palace for headbutting defender Joachim Andersen Jurgen Klopp has urged Benfica’s summer signing to be ready to deal The faces of Premier League defenders would have lit up when they saw how easily the 23-year-old was fired up and they will certainly look to counter him. But Klopp says if the opposition gets busy trying to get a reaction out of Nunes, then he can benefit. “Our ideas and how we want to think in these situations is that we give back with football and that’s how it is,” he said. Nunez will take on Everton defenders James Tarkwoski (left) and Cono Coady (right) “I don’t think (James) Tarkowski and (Connor) Coady are known for that kind of talk during the game. Most of the things he doesn’t understand anyway, but you don’t have to be too creative with it. “I don’t think the two boys are like that, but who knows? We’ll see. “If Darwin is playing then he’s got to be ready for those things, sure, that’s for sure, but when a player talks to you a lot or is really physical, then he’s not on his game and (Nunez) has to take advantage of those things as well. moments. Nunez joined Liverpool from Benfica in the summer transfer window for a club record fee “If the other guy is too busy and wants to distract him, you just have to use it from a football point of view. “For the Crystal Palace game, when the defender is looking for that constant contact, then you go from there and decide when to start the move, things like that.” Klopp revealed that he has spoken to the Uruguayan to keep his emotions in check, but he has not crossed the line. Nunes has not played since the Palace game due to his Premier League suspension “He’s a wonderful young man, frankly, but he has feelings too,” she added. So making a mistake, we didn’t speak to him for 15 whole days, telling him “you need to calm down”. “I think Luis Suarez told him, I’m not sure if they spoke privately, but probably through the news and using some media. This will happen but it happens to others so it is, you just have to ignore it and use it. “It was a lot that came together for the boy, it’s all new, he had his first home game, a lot of excitement, the emotional level you go into a game is already high, you don’t have to be a bit too emotional. “The two weeks definitely helped, you can see that. Will it never happen again? I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure nothing will happen in the next game.’
