""That's normal after such a big move abroad. But he's a superb player, he will get used to the Premier League over time and be able to handle the even bigger pressure. I felt the same way at Inter at the beginning. Andi Brehme, whose transfer was rather quiet, performed immediately at Inter. I had to get used to everything, partly due to the media hype and the higher transfer fee," said Matthäus told Sky Germany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia)."
"Wirtz had moments of brilliance during Germany's 2-0 loss to Slovakia, but did not perform well enough to carry the team on a day where it was struggling. Matthäus thinks the eventual return of Jamal Musiala will help with that. "You can't replace Musiala like-for-like. Just like Messi, you can't replace him. Hopefully he'll be back soon," said Matthäus."
Florian Wirtz has struggled to begin his Liverpool career but retains strong backing from Lothar Matthäus, who expects adaptation to Premier League pressure over time. Matthäus recalled his own early struggles at Inter and cited Andi Brehme's immediate impact after a quieter transfer as a comparison. Wirtz produced moments of brilliance in Germany's 2-0 defeat to Slovakia but could not carry a struggling team. Matthäus believes Jamal Musiala's eventual return will significantly boost Germany. Bayern Munich is on break, Thomas Müller has returned to the club, and questions remain about Germany's form, Nagelsmann's future, Kimmich's role, and a reported Ten Hag incident at Leverkusen.
