Grimaldo: I don’t understand the criticism of Nunez, he still scored a lot of goals at Liverpool

6686 Sports October 25th Leverkusen defender Grimaldo supported Nunez in a recent interview. He said he did not understand the criticism the Uruguayan forward received because the player still scored many goals when he played for Liverpool.

As his performance at Liverpool was considered not to meet expectations, Nunez left the team this summer. He signed a contract with the Saudi team Riyadh Crescent and has so far scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in 7 games.

Grimaldo once played with Nunez in Benfica. He said: "Nunez is very fast, he is very strong, and he can score a lot of goals."

"When Nunez went to Liverpool , I think he is very suitable for the Premier League and the type of striker Liverpool are looking for."

"I think Nunez has scored enough goals and I just don't understand the criticism against him."

" When a player's transfer fee is very high, there will always be (criticism), and people will ask for double or triple the price of the player. This is not the player's fault, because the player has nothing to do with the transfer fee, it is the result of the negotiation between the two clubs. "

"So, in the final analysis, Nunez joined Liverpool, and there will be pressure to play there. They demand a lot from you, and you will always face criticism, but I think he still scored a lot of goals and had a lot of assists at Liverpool."
