"As per Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoene has claimed that Slot has broken multiple promises to Wirtz, which were used to seal his move to Liverpool in the summer. Slot promised Wirtz something that he's now clearly not keeping: build the new team around him with number 10 shirt. That was rubbish. He got the number 7 shirt, and the new team is clearly not playing around Florian Wirtz."
"Should Liverpool be catering more to Florian Wirtz? Wirtz is clearing a fantastic player, so it has been confusing as to why he has struggled so much since moving to Liverpool. There is merit to the claims from Hoene that Slot is not playing to the 22-year-old's strengths, although the player himself should also be able to adapt to the situation that he has found himself in."
Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for over £100m but has struggled, recording zero goals and three assists in 17 appearances. Uli Hoene claims that manager Arne Slot broke promises used to secure the transfer, including a pledge to build a new team around Wirtz and to give him the number 10 shirt. Wirtz instead wears number 7 and appears out of position within the current system. Observers argue Slot is not playing to Wirtz's strengths, while others suggest the 22-year-old must adapt. Wirtz showed improved form in the win at West Ham, raising consistency questions.
