Jurgen Klopp gives verdict Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland
Jurgen Klopp gives verdict on Darwin Nunez and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland who’re both expected to storm the league next season.
Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland, a recent addition to Man City, have similar playing styles, and Jurgen Klopp has suggested that it might take both players some time to adjust to life in the Premier League.
Both of the two teenage forwards, who were bought by Liverpool and City, respectively, this summer, are highly anticipated to shock the league in 2022/23.
As the Community Shield match between Liverpool and Man City approaches this weekend, Klopp talked about the disparities between the two teams’ playing styles.
“We watched the Bayern game obviously and it was not too different but it was good and Erling scored a Man City goal. Like a square ball in the six-yard box and that is so far it didn’t change a lot, they have the same problem we have as they are not used to Erling’s natural runs just as we are not used to Darwin’s natural runs yet,” he said.
“When Darwin offers a run we give him the ball all the time, which is not helpful because often a guy who stretches the opponent is there to create space between the lines, these kinds of things.”
Klopp also stated that he believes it will take time for Haaland to settle in at the Etihad Stadium: “I am pretty sure they will need time for Erling but that doesn’t mean he cannot score already early like how he did it in the first game against Bayern.
“Most of the things look like last year, how they set up the press, how flexible they are in their own possession, it is good, very very good but so far no real change is obvious.”
