"I was very happy for him. He played a very good game. Everyone was outstanding in the first half. It's great to see and hopefully many more to come from him. He's getting used to playing for Liverpool and what we want to do as a team. He's getting used to the intensity. He just has to keep going."
"I think he runs almost everywhere. At times on the left, at times in the middle. He's a very intelligent player who is so comfortable on the ball. He finds space between the lines and can be very important. He wants to be important in terms of goals and assists. The work rate he puts in and the chances he creates are what I think are even more important. I am really pleased for him, like the rest of the team."
Florian Wirtz scored his first Liverpool goal, the winner in a 2-1 victory over Wolves, ending his goal drought for the club. The Germany international had struggled for form since joining from Bayer Leverkusen but produced a standout performance, completing seven of nine dribbles. Wirtz has recorded 22 Premier League shots with an accumulated xG of 3.0. Virgil van Dijk praised his intelligence, work rate and adaptation to Liverpool's intensity, urging him to maintain momentum. Van Dijk noted Wirtz's versatility across left and central positions and highlighted the importance of his chance creation. Liverpool are unbeaten in six league games and sit fourth after 18 matches.
