Nunez Explains Why He Was 'Nervous' During First Week At Liverpool, Names 6 Players Who Helped Him Settle In
Darwin Nunez was signed just over a month ago by Liverpool and has made an instant impact in the pre-season.
He scored four goals in one half against RB Leipzig and also scored a late, game-sealing goal against Manchester City in the Community Sheild.
Asked how he has settled in during his first few weeks with the Reds, Nunez told the club's official website: "Things have been going very well. I was a bit nervous at first since it was all new to start with.
"It’s a bit like when you leave one school to go to a new one, with all new classmates – it was more or less the same as that. But then as the days went by, I felt really relaxed with my teammates.
"They really gave a lovely warm welcome. Because when you’re the new guy you do feel a bit nervous, and even more so when you don’t know the language.
"You want to communicate and you just cannot. You want to try to understand but you don’t understand anything at all when they’re talking!
"But then Milner speaks Spanish, Thiago and the Brazilian lads (Fabinho, Alisson and Firmino) as well as Luis Diaz, who only arrived a short while ago too.
"So, I’m now feeling very well and much more relaxed and at ease here, and definitely not as nervous as I was in the first few days."
Nunez's words fortify what we already knew about the Liverpool squad - they are like a family and will always help each other out.
