Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has commented on the relationship between Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah as teammates.

Jurgen Klopp has commented on the blossoming partnership between Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez as Liverpool prepares for Manchester City, their most formidable opponent of the season.

Both players have been indispensable to the Reds’ early-season success, with Salah having already scored ten goals in twelve games to reach double figures. Klopp has praised their “unique” partnership in the forward position.

Since his £85 million transfer from Benfica to Anfield, Nunez has required some time to adjust, but the Uruguayan appears poised to explode onto the Premier League scene following an impressive recent run in which he has contributed to six goals in eight appearances (three goals, three assists) despite not starting regularly.

It also appears that his partnership with Salah is growing stronger with each passing encounter. Together with the Egyptian, the Uruguayan has contributed to eleven goals, which is seven more than any other Liverpool player. Of the ten assists he has provided, nine have been to Salah.

Klopp is undoubtedly cognizant of the duo’s simpatico on the field, but he maintains they are not sacrificing the progress of their fellow teammates in the process.

He cites Salah’s promise to assist Nunez following his initial challenges in adjusting to life at Liverpool to illustrate this point.

“One cannot aspire to be a Liverpool player without football intelligence. Although Darwin and Mo pursue one another, they do not appear to have abandoned the other boys.

“It’s simply a different style of play,” Klopp explained at his Friday press conference.

“Mo provides assistance to the lads. Darwin arrived with high hopes, and Mo likely knew the situation best; he recognized his potential and desired to assist him.

Despite not having the most lengthy discussion, that was without a doubt the beginning of a truly remarkable partnership.”

Having the lethal tandem in peak condition and performing at their highest level will be critical if they are to defeat City for a mere third time since Klopp assumed control eight years ago; their last victory at the Etihad was in 2015, following a 4-1 triumph.

However, Pep Guardiola was not in command at the time, and his unbeaten league record against them emphasizes the formidable challenge Klopp and Liverpool face in defeating their rivals.

“Saturday is a difficult one, as this team has been the best in the world over the past few years. You will inform me that our reputation [at the Etihad] is not favorable! Klopp further stated.

“They [Man City] are astoundingly powerful; if there were anything I could say to diminish their strength, I would have to reiterate myself. The previous year is now nothing more than a memory.

“Is this the greatest rivalry? I have no idea, but it is the most difficult game you will play in years.

The supporters will determine the rival, but in terms of football, we required some time to establish ourselves as a competitor on the field. Major events.”

After returning from international duty with Uruguay on Thursday, Nunez is expected to be in contention to play, whereas Salah will be well-rested, having not played for Egypt since their 2-0 victory over Sierra Leone on Sunday.
