Liverpool\u00a0striker,\u00a0Darwin Nunez,\u00a0has told ESPN that\u00a0Luis Suarez\u00a0messaged him with advice after his red card against\u00a0Crystal Palace, telling him to become \u201cstrong\u201d if he wanted to succeed in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Nunez has experienced a mixed start to his Liverpool career since joining from\u00a0Benfica\u00a0this summer and was sent off earlier this season after head butting\u00a0Joachim Andersen\u00a0in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
Suarez sent a message to Nunez with some pointers on how not to rise to provocation from defenders in the English top-flight.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a good thing because not many would bother themselves to pick up the phone and send you a message \u2014 I think his gesture was really important for me,\u201d Nunez told ESPN.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis is a reference point, an idol everywhere in the world. I\u2019m getting started, I\u2019m young, and he knows about all those things because he already played in the Premier League with Liverpool.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuis told me that these things will happen in every game in the Premier League that they\u2019ll come and find me, that they\u2019re going to bump into me, and that I need to make myself strong and not repeat my screw-up.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said: \u2018Listen to an idiot like me.\u2019 I really appreciate that message and the fondness he has for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool signed Nunez for a fee which sources told ESPN was worth up to \u20ac100 million. He has scored six goals in 13 games across all competitions since then.<\/p>\n
Suarez scored 82 goals in 133 games for Liverpool from 2011-2014 before leaving for\u00a0Barcelona, lifting the League Cup in 2012 and leading an unsuccessful Premier League title challenge in 2013-14.<\/p>\n
