Núñez’s header to rival: unreleased video shows what caused Liverpool Uruguayan’s violent reaction

It was the expected start. After his goals in the first games, the Uruguayan Darwin Nunez He first played as a starter for Liverpool, who gave Benfica $ 75 million to buy him. Although a header against a rival sentenced him to expulsion and criticism from his club, a video circulating on social networks helps to understand the reaction that the attacker had.

The image of Núñez’s header against Danish Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen goes around the world. But the problem had started before the referee gave him the red card in the 12th minute of the second half for having aimed directly at his rival’s chin.

However, the behind the scenes were missing: everything that had happened between Núñez and Andersen from the first minute of the game, something that social networks had the task of unmasking with an unreleased video that collects those games.

It is true that the Dane was in charge of marking him closely, even pushing him, but the Uruguayan had already hinted that the fight could go further.

In a melee, Núñez thwarted the first attacks and only responded with insults until he pulled out a repertoire of behaviors far from correctness: committed a harsh offense downstairs, slapped him, pecheo and she even tried to nod at him with the back of her head.

“I was provoking myself”said German Jürgen Klopp, who didn’t even look at the Uruguayan when he left the field. Although the DT later supported him at the press conference, he also warned him: “Darwin already knows that this is not the reaction he should have. The plants will do it to him, but that is not the reaction”.

His teammate Virgil van Dijk was not far behind and although he pointed out that they support him as a team, he noted that “must be checked”. “You need to know that these things happen, especially in the Premier League. This is going to be a lesson and we hope it won’t happen again,” she said.

The truth is Núñez fell into the trap set by Andersenwho experienced a spectacular fall and received a header that didn’t seem as hard as she had led him to believe.

The reality is that on Monday the striker will have to watch the classic with Manchester United at Old Trafford from home, while his rival will be able to play at home against Aston Villa this Saturday.
