Transferred from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool this summer for a pharaonic amount of around 130 million euros, Florian Wirtz has not yet shown the full extent of his talent at Anfield. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has neither scored nor provided an assist since his arrival in the Premier League, but his situation does not overly worry Jürgen Klopp, convinced of the generational talent of his German compatriot.
Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp came to defend Wirtz by downplaying the criticism of him. “Its quality is exceptionalthe former Liverpool coach told the German media Ntv. The criticisms are a bit exaggerated. Liverpool have just lost three games in a row, which is unusual. But it's also normal in life. And that's why we talk about this kind of thing over there. Wirtz is a once-in-a-century talent, and he will eventually show it again in every game – as he did in Leverkusen. »
