Look, Darwin, if you’re reading this, please know that we at Mozzart Sport Kenya don’t have anything against you. In fact, we quite like you. So don’t take this the wrong way, but you are playing like ujinga. If you don’t know what that means… well… never mind. Just keep reading.Darwin Nunez fries an egg. pic.twitter.com/JCSZXWcBLy— Troll Football (@TrollFootball) January 3, 2023 The football stats agency Opta counted who has missed the most big chances in the European top five leagues so far in the 2022/23 season. And it pains us to tell you this, Darwin – but it’s you. Your inexplicable open-goal miss at Brentford was your 15th this season. That’s three more than Ivan Toney and Mohamed Salah, four more than Gabriel Jesus and five more than Erling Haaland. But those guys can’t say they’re having a rotten season – unlike you. See, although you scored nine goals so far, everyone keeps comparing you to Haaland, making you look bad. It’s unfortunate, we know.We here at the Nairobi office were thrilled to see you move to an English Premier League club. The fee of €75 million didn’t even seem so large considering the kind of goals we’ve seen you score for Benfica in the Champions League and Liga Portugal.##NAJAVA_MECA_6923523##But look, we won’t write you off. Not because we like you but because we know you’re a good player. You’re just going through a rough patch. It happens. After all, you’re not the worst. Leeds United’s Partick Bamford, Leverkusen’s Patrick Shick, Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus and that guy Cristiano Ronaldo are just a few out of ten players who have a larger gulf between the number of goals scored and their combined xG (expected goals). If you don’t understand the numbers, never mind. We’ll just tell you that those mean people calling you “the Uruguayan Timo Werner” are just talking because they like to be hating on footballers. We know, dear Darwin, that switching from Portugal to England wasn’t easy. Also, having to adjust from years of living in sunny Spain and Portugal to training and playing in rainy Liverpool wouldn’t be easy for anyone. So we’ll cut you some slack.Liverpool fans next game showing Darwin Nunez where the goal is pic.twitter.com/KUHaqXVLB7— Marcus (@MidwayDK) January 4, 2023 You just make sure you don’t let those 15 misses get in your head. We’ve all been ujunga at some point. But look at us now.Sincerely,Mozzart Sport Kenya team
