As Darwin Nunez’s struggle for assertion continues at Liverpool, the English press has tried to find out more about the psychic profile of the Benfica-signed striker. Evandro Motta, motivational advisor for Jorge Jesus’ technical teams at Eagles and Sporting, worked with the Uruguay international and highlighted his mental resilience, recalling the episode in which Darwin deleted social media after criticism in his early days at Luz.

“When an athlete has the courage to admit he needs help, it is much easier to work with him. This is Darwin, a young man more mature than his age, with an open mind and ready to listen to the right people. Dealing with a lot of criticism, we suggest that you isolate yourself from the environment that was hurting you. Darwin is a boy who demands a lot from himself and realizes that things on social media will only frustrate him. He has already overcome a lot in life and Evandro Motta told “FourFourTwo” that this episode made him an even better professional. That’s what makes him an authentic gemstone Not only in terms of technical quality, but also in terms of intelligence.” Jesus’ former assistant also highlighted Darwin’s humble side. “His arrival in Benfica? It was a completely different culture. I was touched by him. He said something I will never forget and I told Jorge Jesus right away. ‘I know I still have a lot to learn and continue to gain experience,'” Darwin said. 21-year-old boy… I’ve worked with some of the most talented footballers in the last 40 years. Do you know how many times I have seen a mature and humble young man of this age, even after fulfilling his dream of helping his parents buy a house? Few times…”, Evandro Motta assured, “without a doubt”, that Darwin would “take chances” at Liverpool.
