Maybe....1 more Italian?

What's everyone talking about? Dreamie's clip shows he has a very good command of the language

That’s what I thought? What gives?

He’s going to be boss.

Wow, he is really quick,
all the interviews I seen were only in Italian.

The fact he said ANYTHING in english is a massive fucking bonus. He did very fucking well. I'm confident he'll be more eloquent than half the posters in here after 6 months

Its harder to do what he did in that interview, speaking extemporaneously in English, than it is to read a preprepared statement of higher complexity in Spanish.

And if he understands that word, his English is better than mine

Is there a correlation between language adaptation to a new country and success on the pitch? I believe there to be - but what does the data show us?

Darwin and Lucho - not much English and they’ve left - could they have become better players with better language skills?

Anyone else struggle with the language (long term)

There may be a loose correlation but I doubt it amounts to much TBH. For example Suarez' English, though it improved a bit, never became that good during his time here.

If Klopp was manager Nunez would have had a much better goals tally, I am 100% sure of that. Would we have won the PL, that I don't know. Nunez was the Trigger of the team, he genuinely was a funny guy. He wasn't part of Slots plan, and its right Slot gets to choose players that suit his style of play.
People's whose first language is English are the last people to complain about people not learning another language. I wonder how many English immigrants in Spain pick up Spanish?

Sorry but I don't buy that. Besides the fact that he spent twice as long playing for Klopp as he ever did for Slot, Nunez' lack of goals was due to Nunez himself. He had the game intelligence of a flea - he never sorted out how to stay onside and, though he scored some good instinctive goals, when he had the time to think it all went to sh!te. I liked him and I wish him well, but let's not go rewriting history now he's gone.

In Klopps last season he had 31 GAs. Thats a good return. Last season as bad as he was, he had more GAs than Jota. I am not rewriting history, he definitely was frustrating but not as bad some people make out here and online. I was screaming way more at Trent than Nunez, that fucker lost interest as soon as he lost the ball.
