Florian Wirtz has not yet taken his marks in Liverpool. Recruited with great fanfare by the Mersey club from Bayer Leverkusen for around 130 million euros this summer, the German attacking midfielder is struggling to be decisive for the moment.
This Tuesday, Pulheim's prodigy played his eighth tenure in nine games in all competitions with the Reds against Galatasaray (0-1) in the Champions League. Aligned in his preferential position, he could not prevent the champions of England from falling in Istanbul, thus undergoing a second consecutive setback after the defeat against Crystal Palace (1-2) last Saturday in the Premier League.
Wirtz excluded from the starting eleven
For Sky Sports Consultant Jamie Carragher, Wirtz needs an adaptation phase before going full bath. The former LFC defender believes that the club's new recruit should no longer hold the time that the team finds a good dynamic.
“Right now, the balance of the team is not good, and the one that is obvious, it is Florian Wirtz, who is not at all at the level. He's a young player, he has time in front of him, but for the moment he has to get out of the team. Liverpool must come back to what he was doing last season, find trust and stability. Currently, it looks like chaos ”judged the 2005 European champion.
