“There are moments that are very difficult for us players - for me, it’s right now, but I never throw the towel in,”

“I always carry on working in training. If I need to stay to train more, I stay, to improve.

“I think the work that I do on the pitch to help the team, to defend as well, I think I’ve always done it well.

“But I haven’t scored goals and I know people look at that, [because] the striker has to score goals.

“The truth is that I’m going through a rough patch and like I said before, I always stay focused on my job and I’m always going to give everything for Liverpool.

“It’s really important to keep my head up and to always say: ‘OK, I’ve got to work because I need to improve.’

“And I stay strong with this mentality and with the support of my family and of course the fans, who are incredible.”

Nunez added:

“Now I have to keep on working. These two goals will definitely help to build my confidence. I’m very happy with the win for the team.”
