The international from Uruguay has scored in each of his last four outings for Liverpool, including the victory at Ajax on Wednesday that guaranteed a spot in the Champions League knockout round. Nez has scored six goals in 13 matches for Liverpool, however due to suspension and injuries, he has only started seven games.
The Liverpool left-back claimed that the only reason they are being compared is because they play in the same position and moved in the same window. He also provided the corner that Nez headed in in Amsterdam. Nobody is treated fairly by it. It would not be fair to Haaland either if it were the other way around.
"Really, that's not fair on anyone; if it were the other way around, Haaland wouldn't be treated fairly either. We are thrilled to have Darwin here. These are two outstanding guys.
"Everyone forgets that he's still young, but he's been incredibly clinical in front of goal, even if he hasn't played as much due to injuries and his three-game suspension (served in August after getting sent off against Crystal Palace).
Nez, who was originally acquired for £64 million from Benfica, has acknowledged that his limited command of the language has made the adjustment time more difficult, but Robertson has noticed improvement on and off the field. The goal-to-minute ratio of Nez, according to him, is "quite good," and despite the language barrier, you can tell Nez is a pleasant man. You admire how hard he is trying to speak English. He is asking us many questions, and although it will take some time for him to feel better, we are here to support him. He has integrated himself really nicely.
After acknowledging guilt on a charge of inappropriate conduct stemming from his red card during Liverpool's recent victory against Manchester City, Jürgen Klopp was fined £30,000.
