"I always speak to Flo, regardless of his situation. It's a very complex and difficult situation when you look at his club. Last year they won the Premier League and played very attractive football. This year a few players left them, and they invested a lot of money on new players. So the entire mix is very complex - each of the five attacking players wants to be the 'star player',"
"this situation doesn't make it easy for Flo - because the entire club is not as stable as they were last season. I watched the game against City and they were the worse team over 90 minutes. It's not easy for Flo to put his mark in such a situation. We can see that a lot of players struggle when they move to another club where there have been many changes. In the end, I can't influence his performances at Liverpool."
Florian Wirtz has struggled to replicate his Bayer Leverkusen form since joining Liverpool for an initial £100million fee, failing to register a goal or assist in 11 Premier League games. He often looked physically overmatched and made little impact in the 3-0 defeat by Manchester City, being substituted with seven minutes remaining. Wirtz will join Germany for a ten-day international break ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg and Slovakia. Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann attributed Wirtz's difficulties to Liverpool's complex squad changes, multiple players vying to be the attacking 'star' and reduced club stability.
