Darwin Nunez admits his start to life at Liverpool was ‘a little difficult’.
Nunez led the line in Tuesday’s Champions League group win over Rangers after making three consecutive appearances from the substitutes’ bench.
The Uruguayan’s time at Anfield has been an imperfect one, having scored in his opening two outings before serving a three-match ban for a red card.
But Nunez believes that he is finally beginning to turn a corner with the Reds.
“The truth is that it was a little difficult to adapt,” he told TNT Sports Brazil.
“But I believe that, as training and games go by, I will adapt little by little. I have the support of my team-mates.
“(After the red card) was a very tough time. I was suspended for three games, I know I made a big mistake and now I’m aware that it won’t happen again.
“I have to calm my nerves during the games, talk less. We all make mistakes and I know it will serve as a learning and an experience.”
The 23-year-old also revealed the role Jurgen Klopp’s assistants have played in helping him overcome the language barrier with the Liverpool manager.
“We don’t talk much – I don’t know English and he doesn’t know Spanish,” added Nunez.
“We have a Portuguese translator in Pep (Lijnders), who I understand, and there is also Vitor (Matos), another Portuguese.
“They are the translators when Klopp talks to the group.
“They sit next to me and explain what I have to do. If they didn’t explain it to me, I’d enter the field with no idea what to do.
“But the relationship with the coach is that he supports me, gives me confidence and I have to repay that on the field.”
