"In football, rightly so maybe, we mainly get judged on results and individuals mainly get judged on goals and assists and we sometimes forget what else there is to do during a game. And I think he has multiple good games for us but I also think he is getting better every game he plays for us. He is getting fitter and fitter and was getting closer and closer to his first goal and it is not a surprise he scores today."
"He will be the first to understand that one goal is not enough. So hopefully he will score many more goals for us than just this one. But I also liked his performance during large parts of the game today, I think he was special in a lot of moments."
Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool, doubling the lead after Ryan Gravenberch opened the scoring in a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The display was described as "special" and the scoring appeared to relieve him, with teammates visibly pleased. Wirtz joined Liverpool in an initial £100 million transfer from Bayer Leverkusen and had faced criticism for limited attacking output. Observations emphasise his improving fitness and growing influence, note that one goal is not enough, and express hope that he will score more. The win moved Liverpool up to fifth, but the team still needs improvement to climb further.
