Didi Hamann says Liverpool's Florian Wirtz lacks confidence

"Noted pundit Didi Hamann is getting worried about Liverpool star Florian Wirtz and how his recent form could impact his performance with the German national team. "If this continues until February or March, it wouldn't be good," Hamann told Sport1. "We saw in the international matches that he lacks confidence and is currently performing far below his potential." When asked if he thought Wirtz was putting his spot on the team at risk, Hamann dismissed that notion."

""The fact that he wouldn't make it was out of the question for me," Hamann said. Wirtz's decision to move to Liverpool during a World Cup year remains questionable, especially with the struggles he has had in acclimating to his new surroundings. As far as being excluded from the German national team goes, it would an insanely shocking turn of events if that was to happen. Even in his current form, Wirtz has the potential to ramp it up in a tournament format."

Didi Hamann expresses concern that Florian Wirtz's recent poor form and lack of confidence at Liverpool could negatively affect his performances for Germany if it persists into February or March. Hamann noted Wirtz appeared underconfident in recent international matches and is performing below his potential. Hamann rejected the idea that Wirtz would lose his place on the national team. Wirtz's mid-World Cup-year move to Liverpool has complicated his adaptation, raising questions. Despite current struggles, exclusion from Germany would be shocking, and Wirtz still has the capacity to elevate his game in a tournament.
