Gakpo and Nunez enjoy their time at Euro 2024 and Copa America!
Cody Gakpo tries to help the naive, Dutch national team. Uruguay's Darwin Nunez is back to his best with Suarez's advice and Bielsa's guidance. The two "reds" are shining in Euro 2024 and Copa America and Arne Slot is looking forward to working with them at the Kirkby.

Everybody at Liverpool must be proud and in high spirits with the protagonists who make the team's new coach smile ahead of the upcoming season.
Gakpo and Nunez succeeded in their coexistence at "Anfield" to create an excellent relationship of support for each other and in the tournaments they participate this summer they make the difference!
The Dutchman, although his country's national team is quite naive and it seems that the lack of personalities despite the talent, can be decisive, he has tried hard to contribute.
He has scored twice, against Poland and Austria in the European Championship, while he has a total of 5 goals and 2 assists in his last 10 games for the national team.
Darwin Nunez found the net again in the early hours of Friday in a comfortable 5-0 win over Bolivia in New Jersey and Marcelo Bielsa looks to have reborn all of the 'celeste'. The Liverpool forward is also receiving advice from former Reds super striker Luis Suarez.
The latter, on his return to the national team, got the number 9 for his shirt, with Darwin happily giving it to him, as a "thank you' for the fact that he helps him tremendously and in the part of mental health and confidence.
The Uruguayan now has 10 goals (with 1 hat-trick) and 1 assist in his last 7 games for his country's representative group and is smiling again. It seems that also the fans of Liverpool are happy for him – despite being particularly critical of him – but also Arne Slot is in high spirits watching his players perform great during the summer tournaments in different continents.
