Not even the Uruguayan national team trusts Darwin Núñez anymore

The bad moment of Darwin Núñez is not only in Liverpool but also in the Uruguayan National Team where they do not rule out the possibility of using Fede Valverde as a centre forward in case Núñez does not perform well during the international break and even the World Cup in Qatar that will start in November and where the Uruguayans dream of transcending.

Fede Valverde is one of the most fashionable players in world football. He has gone from being an extraordinary midfielder to a spectacular right winger and all with an exceptional performance. And the fact is that Fede Valverde's versatility is astounding the football planet. In fact, Carlo Ancelotti uses him in both positions indistinctly. The Italian's confidence is such that he even made a bet with the player.

Liverpool got their hands on Bellingham and spurned him

He confessed recently that he told him that if he didn't score 10 goals or more, he would tear up his coaching card. It seems he won't have to. His development is offering Real Madrid a multitude of variants and Betfair's oddsmakers are quick to point to his season as one of the biggest attractions of the year.

According to Betfair odds, Fede Valverde scoring ten goals or more in LaLiga is priced at 1.25 per euro wagered, meaning it is almost a given. His stride and finishing in the box is becoming increasingly potent and generates a very high reliability rate. Last season, Fede gradually earned his place out of his position, and this is a good indication of his importance. With a midfield of Casemiro, Kroos and Modric, the Uruguayan moved to the right flank to take advantage of his depth.

Núñez has only scored one goal for Liverpool

He averages 0.8 dribbles per game, as well as 1.9 shots. In defence, he makes 0.9 tackles per game and transmits first-rate defensive work. His performance cannot be analysed by numbers alone, as his physical deployment and the field he covers also make a difference. In eight games played this season in Champions League and LaLiga, Fede Valverde has four goals and two assists. In addition, decisive plays and actions such as the one that started the first goal of the Madrid derby: Rodrygo's goal. The Uruguayan has become a key player for Carlo Ancelotti, a permanent fixture on Real Madrid's right flank.
