Virgil van Dijk lays down fresh challenge to Darwin Nunez after Liverpool striker's stunning goal in Saturday's 3-0 win over Bournemouth
Virgil van Dijk believes keeping a level head will now help Darwin Nunez really take flight at Liverpool after the striker opened his account for the campaign in Saturday's 3-0 win over Bournemouth. And the captain thinks Nunez's price tag means there will always be pressure on him to perform after the big-money forward marked his first start of the season with a stunning strike.
'For him, coming into a club like Liverpool with the price tag there is always going to be pressure to produce week in, week out and he is trying to do that but it is not always that easy. 'Now it is time for him to stay calm and I think, in my opinion, he has been doing that much better and the manager is busy with him a lot and us as players and we just have to keep him close to us and keep going.
