Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has disclosed that the international break came at a right time for him to forget about his poor form.
Recall that the Uruguayan international has been struggling for form, scoring seven goals this season with 23 of his 40 appearances coming from the bench.
Despite what has been a depressing week, Nunez says the international break could not have come soon enough and he admitted that he will use the time off to rediscover his form which has gone downhill in recent months.
“I’m happy thinking about the national team, enjoying every minute with it,” he said, as quoted by El Pais. “These are moments that one goes through in football.

“As I said recently, I’m not someone who throws in the towel because they don’t play, but rather I’m going to keep working so I can play. I know I’m not performing as well as I should. It’s difficult because when you’re doing well, like when I came on against PSG, your confidence changes, with the idea of being able to break it in the next match.
“But then you get a slump, and I’m always there to help my teammates come back to the national team. The ball doesn’t want to go in. Let him run a lot, play well, and then not be able to score a goal.
“I’m strong in my head since my family always supports me, and that’s the important thing to keep working and bring joy to everyone, like beating Argentina to get the three points.
“(I want) to forget a little about what’s happening there (at Liverpool), and besides, there’s nothing more beautiful for a player than wearing your country’s jersey.”
