Jürgen Klopp spoke to the media ahead of the Premier League match against Arsenal about his team, which is made up of players from different parts of the world, and that some of them do not speak the league's native language, English. This problem has led to some elements not understanding each other on the pitch.

Although the adaptation of Darwin Núñez to the best league in the world has been acceptable, recently the superstar of the Uruguayan national team was interviewed after the victory against Rangers Glasgow in the UEFA Champions League, where he revealed that communication with his coach is complicated, since they do not speak the same language, they need translators to understand each other.

"Jürgen and I, we don't talk a lot because I don't know English yet, and he doesn't know Spanish either. There are a couple of Portuguese translators who I understand, they sit next to us and they explain to those of us who don't speak English what we have to do, because otherwise we wouldn't have a clue," revealed the 23-year-old striker, who has so far scored two official goals for the Reds.

Klopp sent a message between the lines to the former Benfica player, where he referred to a team-mate who also did not understand the coach in his speeches, and who was able to exploit his level. "Perhaps a big part of Bobby's (Firmino) success is that he didn't understand a single word I was saying, why he did things well without understanding me," said the German manager.

Darwin Nunez, who came through the youth ranks at Uruguay's Penarol, is part of the South American legion in the Merseyside squad, which includes fellow Brazilians Alisson Becker, Athur Melo, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino, along with his strike partner, Colombian Luis Diaz, who also arrived in this past transfer window from Porto of Portugal.
