Darwin Nunes previously admitted not having "complete confidence", but the support he received from his teammates clearly left its mark on the striker.
The 23-year-old has undergone quite a bit of change in his young career, having only left his native Uruguay in 2019 and subsequently moved to Spain and Portugal.
Now he finds himself in England, with a new language to learn, a new culture, a different way of playing and, of course, a new set of teammates.
All have their own challenges and challenges, as the club's signing record only adds another layer of complexity and expectations, causing players to be "a little hesitant".
But so far, his journey has been supported by teammates, with Nunes recently picking Mohamed Salah as the man who made an early first impression.
"Salah is a good player and a good guy," Nunes told ESPN.
"When I arrived in pre-season, I talked to him and we had Fabinho do the translation. In the first few games, I was very nervous. ”
"I arrived without training and things didn't go my way. Then Mohammed called me to speak to me and he told me I had to stay calm because I was new and I was just adjusting to the club. ”
"He told me that he also experienced that moment, and when he arrived in 2017, he didn't understand English."
"He told me that I was going to learn it, now to stay calm and do what I did at Benfica, my potential is important for the team and I have the support of him and the captain."
The Egyptian is very gracious and has started five games with Nunes so far.
The Uruguayan has begun to show what he is capable of with a chaotic start, with five goals now scored and has learned from his early mistake of a red card against Crystal Palace.
"I ran badly, there I was sent off, I did badly, but it won't happen again, I've learned from my mistakes," Nunes said.
"The Premier League is a very competitive league and for me it is the best league in the world. Now I want to keep my head up and move on. ”
