“Pocket” Darwin Nunez, Chelsea blockbuster proves class

07/04/2023 • comments off

The French star gave himself an impressive performance in the recent confrontation with Liverpool.

It is easy to confirm that the spirit of Liverpool players has been severely affected after the 1-4 defeat at the hands of Manchester City at the weekend.
Therefore, despite facing an unstable Chelsea, there are not many views that coach Jurgen Klopp’s teachers and students will win.
After all, The Kop had a difficult 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge, and it was only luck that they were able to escape a defeat.
Both Chelsea’s goals were not recognized by VAR, while Liverpool’s attack had an inefficient day and could not create too many really dangerous chances.
Obviously, Liverpool’s attacking players had a tough game, and the best performer, Darwin Nunez, also managed to hit two shots.
It is not difficult to see, the reason why Nunez cannot shine comes from the harsh clinging of Wesley Fofana, who has had a really impressive performance.
In his first appearance since mid-March, the former Leicester star still showed the level of a top central defender and was rated by Whoscored as the best player in the last match.
Figures from Statman Dave show that Fofana had a total of 76 touches against Liverpool, achieved a pass accuracy of about 89% and won in 9 duels.
Fofana especially impressed with 8/8 correct tackles (the most in the match), 3 interceptions, 5 pass cuts and won in 2/3 of the high ball disputes.
On top of that, the French midfielder directly helped Chelsea keep a clean sheet with a classy save before Fabinho’s shot at the end of the first half, the most dangerous opportunity Liverpool had throughout the game.
