Luis Suarez sent a message to Darwin Nunez after the horror Miss of the Liverpool star for an open goal against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old striker was confronted with public criticism from his manager Arne Slot, while the Dutchman questioned the attitude of the player and emphasized that a striker cannot afford to delay in his output.
'It is not part of the work of a No. 9 to delay in the Wortkrate. And that is something we will talk about, “said the Liverpool boss after the game.
'It's an opportunity and not 100 percent that it is. I can accept Mrs., but it is more difficult for me to accept his behavior after the chance. It got too much in his head, he was not the usual Darwin who finishes his ass and ensures that he helps the team. '
His criticism came after Nunez missed a clear opportunity with a shot far above the Cross Bar, after an excellent pass by teammate Dominik Szoboszlai, in a moment that led to Liverpool's 2-2 draw in Villa Park.
After the end of the game, Nunez went to social media to write: 'I was not the best three weeks ago (when I scored a last-minute winner in Brentford) and I am not the worst now.
'If I fall, I get up. You will never see me give up. I'm going to give it all until the last day I am here in Liverpool. '
However, the former Nunez teammate in the Uruguay national team responded to his position with a supporting message.
'Of course goal scorer, that's how I want you! That is the attitude, always positive. Let's go upstairs, “the 38-year-old replied under the player post of the Reds.
It is after Suarez also wore the Liverpool shirt between 2011 and 2014.
The Uruguayan icon saw his move to Anfield from the Dutch club Ajax in a deal worth £ 22.7 million.
During his remarkable seasons in the red shirt, Suarez scored 82 goals and 31 assists, before moving to Barcelona in the summer of 2024.
It was not the first time that the El Pistolero had supported Liverpool's striker after he advised the player to show 'mental force' after his ban last year.
The 25-year-old was confronted with a suspension after he was shown that bumping to supporters threw in some wild scenes during his collision against Colombia in Copa America.
Now Nunez will be confronted with an even more challenging situation in the club, which this season only started seven times on the 21 games in the Premier League.
After a 2-2 draw and two points dropped in Villa Park, Liverpool was set for a crucial trip to the Etihad Stadium for a collision against Manchester City this Sunday.
