Warmup Liverpool 5-0 Stoke City, Nunes highlight performance, data proves critical

In a closed-door friendly match ending in the early morning, Liverpool defeated Stoke City with a huge gap of 5-0 at the AXA Training Center, adding another victory to the preparation journey of the new season. The players showed good competitive state and team cooperation in the game. In this game, Darwin Nunes is undoubtedly the most dazzling star in the game, because he completed a hat-trick within 20 minutes of the game, setting the team a victory early. His excellent sense of smell in front of the goal and ability to seize opportunities is amazing.

The game started with just 6 minutes, Nunez scored the first record, which is what fans hope to see, and it also reflects that the general's recent condition has been adjusted to the best. At that time, Wilz sent a straight pass for Sobosloy, and the opponent's defensive player made a mistake in clearing the ball. The agile Nunes quickly seized the opportunity and scored a goal, sounding the clarion call for Liverpool.

What's even more gratifying is that 6 minutes later, Nunes received a low pitch from Sobosloy again, calmly pushed the ball and changed the score to 2-0. In the 14th minute of the first half, Curtis Jones passed the ball, Nunez easily pushed the ball into the goal, completing an amazing hat-trick. This series of goals showed his super strong finishing ability in front of the goal, and the chemical effect between him and his teammates was also very obvious.

In addition to Nunez's highlight performance, other Liverpool players also performed well in the game. Rio Ngumoha's first half goal and Federico Chiesa's second half score further expanded the team's lead and helped the Reds win two consecutive victories this summer in the warm-up match. It is worth mentioning that Liverpool sent two completely different lineups in the first and second half of this game, fully demonstrating the team's deep lineup reserves. In the second half, players such as Ben Dock, Garkepo, Chiesa also threatened the opponent's goal many times. Although some opportunities were missed, the team's overall offensive firepower and tactical cooperation were still remarkable.

For Liverpool, this game is a successful run-in and test. New aid Wilz started in the game and made his first career debut in the Reds. His performance on the court is exciting and his cooperation with his teammates is also tacit, which undoubtedly adds more scoring ability to the team's midfield strength in the new season. Nunes continued his outstanding form in the preseason, after scoring a goal in the 3-1 victory over Preston last weekend and now has another hat-trick, which is undoubtedly a huge positive news for the Liverpool forward.

In the next game, the coach will continue to polish the lineup, improve the tactical system, and make full preparations for all events in the upcoming new season. The outstanding performance of offensive players such as Nunes and Chiesa is also expected to continue their previous outstanding performance. Nunes' performance at Liverpool has a positive impact on the team's offensive end.

It should be noted that in the preseason, Nunes scored consecutive goals against Preston and Stoke City, especially in a big victory over Stoke City. This state continues to be a key performance since the end of last season. Data shows that he ranked first in away stoppage time in Premier League history, and his substitute scored more efficiently than other players in the same period. The data is 7 goals and 4 assists. Although the conversion rate per 90 minutes of the 2024/25 season is relatively low, the explosive performance in the preseason shows that he is gradually overcoming this shortcoming, providing the team with a stable scoring point, and may also continue the recent strong performance in the new season.
