150 million euros. This is the amount paid by Liverpool to recruit Florian Wirtz this summer. A mirobal figure that placed a lot of expectations on the German striker. Drusted after legendary years with Le Bayer Leverkusen and the first title in the history in the Bundesliga gleaned in 2024, Wirtz was released from a season at 16 goals and 15 assists in 45 matches last year. An incredible assessment that has necessarily attacked many lusts after this year of confirmation. Fulished by Bayern Munich and Manchester City, the 22 -year -old attacking midfielder was also observed by Liverpool. A club that was nodging a lot of boxes to allow it to express themselves.
Thus, Florian Wirtz took the road to Anfield this summer. Quickly installed in the eleven by Arne Slot, the German was expected for his big beginnings in the league. Finally, after almost two months of competition, the transplant is struggling to take for the moment. Released in a setback on the field, the one who ranked 29th place in the Ballon d'Or has still not scored the slightest goal or the slightest assist. A complicated assessment that is already starting to attract some problems. Silent since his arrival on the banks of the Mersey, the new number 7 of the Reds finally came out of silence this Tuesday in an interview with Sky Germany And commented on his first difficulties.
Florian Wirtz is confident for his future with Liverpool
“” Difficult to stay calm? Yes, of course, I would have liked to score a goal or make a assistadmits Wirtz. But whatever we say, I remain calm. I know what I am capable of and I also know that I will end up giving the best of myself on the ground, so I remain calm. It's good advice. Need more time? Yes, I often hear it. I don't want to hear it all the time: “Let yourself be done, let yourself be done.” Instead, I just try to do better each time. And sometimes there are periods when things are not going well; I have not known it very often in my career. Once I have passed this milestone-it may be hard, because I don't play badly, I just haven't scored any goals yet-it will eventually arrive, and then everything will be back in order. »»
Obviously little worried about its delicate early first leg, Wirtz was also advised by Jürgen Klopp who invited him to ignore criticism and continue to work to perform this season. An ambition shared by the German which is certain that he will succeed in finding the solution to finally launch his adventure with the Reds: “ It is not a secret for anyone, I would like to have more, but I am patient and, as I have just said, I know very well that I can play football. Sooner or later, I'm sure it will come back to normal. »Promising confidence or dangerous stubbornness? The future will tell us.
