There were no worries about Darwin Nunez - Robertson

defender

has praised Uruguayan star

after he scored 4 times against Leipzig.

After Nunez failed to score in the first two pre-season matches, Jurgen Klopp defended him, but the Uruguayan striker had an exceptional performance against the Bundesliga rivals. He entered the field between the two halves and managed to score 4 goals for his team to win 5-0. After the game, Robertson claimed there were no worries about the former Benfica striker.

"It always takes time to get used to new signings. We've all been through it ourselves, so it's no different.

"Maybe there's outside pressure on him in terms of the fee and everything like that, but to us it doesn't matter. People have come in on small fees, big fees, it doesn't matter. 

"We know they have to take time to get used to our system, get used to our style of play, to get used to how we want them to play and things like that.

"He's adapting, he's getting fitter, he's getting stronger – like all of us are in pre-season – and he needs time to adapt. Today will do him a world of good. Today will give him a lot of confidence in terms of in front of goal and everything, which is obviously so important for a striker. 

"So, [we're] delighted about that and we don't have any worries about him. It's just about having a bit of time with him, having a bit of patience, and we've got that and hopefully the Liverpool fans have it as well."
