Florian Wirtz's problems crossed the Channel to reach Germany. She too is concerned about seeing the slow performance of the one who is now the master to play the Mannschaft. The playmaker was also called by Julian Naglesmann for the next international meeting where the national team will receive Luxembourg (October 10) before going to Northern Ireland 3 days later as part of the World Cup qualifiers. Germany plays big after its inaugural defeat against Slovakia in this qualifying campaign.
It is counting on the old jewel of Bayer Leverkusen, especially in the absence of Jamal Musiala, he alone has the keys to the truck. The truce is not for immediately even if the international has to consider it with a certain relief. Before that, we will have to face Chelsea this Saturday in the Premier League (6.30 p.m.) and show another face than that displayed since the start of the season. The 137 million euros weigh heavier than expected on his legs and in his head and the criticisms are already falling on Florian Wirtz in England like Jamie Carragher and Wayne Rooney.
Not the only faulty
The beginnings in Liverpool are far from encouraging (9 games in all competitions, 1 assist). We expect more than one player who feeds a lot of expectations around him. The defeat in Galatasaray in the Champions League in the middle of the week has not arranged his case. The 22 -year -old seemed long lost on the field, without idea, writes Sky Sport in Germany. The height of the evening, he loses the leather in the stambouliote surface by wanting to stand up for Ekitike, who had just missed a very big situation. His risk -taking was not rewarded and behind, the Turks obtained a penalty after 80 meters of against, for the sole goal of the match.
Wirtz is therefore not the only guilty of this defeat, any more than the flavorless services of the Reds since the start of the season. According to Optahe is even at the top of the ranking of opportunities created by a player evolving in the Premier League all competitions this season (21, tied with Jack Grenish, ahead of Bryan Mbeumo 18 and Bruno Fernandes 17). Everything is not to be discarded, far from it. Slot has other problems to settle than the case of German. Other executives do not respond present as Konaté and even Salah. He still seems to have trouble finding his place in this new system.
Rudi Völler: “Wirtz will show the English of what he is capable of»»
“”It looks like he has no real connection on the ground with his new teammatesabounds our colleague from FussballtransfersTobias Feldhoff. In addition, he went from a very dominant team with the ball with Alonso, a very vertical game with Liverpool. He must adapt to this and a more physical game in the Premier League.“The German journalist remains optimistic for the future, believing that”It should be talented enough to succeed in England». Julian Nagelsmann's next press conference will revolve around the playmaker because there is a subject.
Proof of this is with the speech of speech by Rudi Völler, sports director of the DFB, in recent hours, after the first comics from across the Channel. “”Florian will not be carried away by that. I have no concern about thisassures the former OM striker. He will show the English of what he is capable of. He plays in a new championship and a new club. These are normal adaptation difficulties. Almost all professionals have it. I am convinced that with his athletic and player qualities, he will manage to unravel.The 1990 world champion is joined by another German legend, Oliver Kahn.
Germany is demanding time
“”It is not surprising if you look from where it comes fromanalyzes the goalkeeper with 33 selections on the set of Sky Sport. In Leverkusen, everything was very protected. It was an environment he knew. It was a real superstar there.According to him, Wirtz took a risk by signing in Liverpool but he will soon be rewarded. “I have great respect for the players who say:” I take the plunge now “”. Everyone's patience will be the key. “”It is the intelligence of a club: “I do not buy a player of this age for as much money, I do not demolish it immediately and I do not destroy it”. They give him some time.Liverpool is just waiting for that and Germany crosses her fingers, she who would have liked to see him so much in Bayern this summer.
