Liverpool star Darwin Núñez has admitted he is in regular contact with Luis Suárez to try and learn from him as much as possible.
The striker has been speaking while at the Copa America with his country, where he plays alongside Suárez under Marcelo Bielsa.
The striker made his debut for his country in October 2019 and hasn’t looked back since, with 12 goals in 24 games for them.
The latest of those goals came in the 3-1 win over Panama as Uruguay kicked off their Copa America campaign with victory and in impressive form earlier this week.
The Liverpool star is very much the future for his country but isn’t quite number one yet, with Suárez still in the squad despite his advancing years.
He has 68 goals in 138 games for his country since making his debut in February 2007 but is now very much in the final stages of his career, with Inter Miami very likely to be his last club.
In the meantime, Núñez admits he’s in regular contact with his teammate to try and learn as much as he can, something we’re sure will be music to Liverpool fans’ ears.
“More than anything, you always need the support of your teammates,” he said.
“I think that in the national team today we have a beautiful group, a group that if a player is bad, we know that references like Luis Suárez are going to come, who is always there, there giving advice.
“I always try to get together with him, to talk about football things, about his past. He is always there to give me advice and I take everything as positive and try applying it.”
