Florian Wirtz knew that his battles in Liverpool were part of a possibility – it is not recognized in England, which was a risk.
This is the judgment of European football experts Andy Brassell, who believes that Wirtz will be unimpressed by the intensive test around him.

The German arrived for a British record fee in June in June when he completed a deal worth £ 116.5 million.
Before the 125 million pound of Alexander Isak in Liverpool on Deadline Day, Wirtz was the face of the club’s ultimate summer ply.
The red secured a huge puter Bavaria and Manchester City, pulled out of the race later with the latter.
Since then, Wirtz ‘father has revealed that it was Arne Slots ideas of how his son would fit in convincing him to choose ANFELD.

However, the ex-Bayer Leverkusen star has already been criticized that Tony Cascarino added it to the team.
Wirtz enjoyed an impressive debut for Liverpool when he supported Hugo Ekiktes goal against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.
However, his fights during his Eagles hit his problems over a month later after completing him for 90 minutes.
The 2-1 defeat on Saturday against Palace was the earliest Wirtz, with Liverpool down and watching an equalizer at that time.
Wirtz, which was placed on the bench for the Merseyside derby, still has to score a goal in the Premier League or in the Champions League.

Wirtz is not affected by statistics in Liverpool
The 22-year-old surprised many in his homeland By moving to England stay over the Bundesliga.
To the point that Bavaria Chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge even claimed that he had been “better” as a “better” as a “better”.
During an exclusive interview with Talksport.com, Brassell announced that Wirtz is no stranger for critics of his transfer decisions.
“He knew when he came to the Premier League that what was now happening was a risk,” said Brassell. “He knew it was a possibility.
“I don’t think it will be possible because Wirtz has been going through really difficult things in his career.

“You go back when he was a teenager and he was in the youth system of FC Köln, and it became clear that he would go to Leverkusen.
“There was a lot of setback and he is 17 years old at the time.
“There is the agreement that Cologne at least believes that they have had leverkusen because they are 20 minutes away from each other, so as not to pinch star players from each other or not to pinch young players from each other. And Leverkusen beat this.
“Obviously, Wirtz is a child and gets it from all perspectives. He becomes everywhere. And yet he still goes, you know what, I’ll go through it because Leverkusen is my ramp and this is my career path.”

Wirtz shares the Haaland/Mbappe mentality – “After the Bavaria there was not enough step”
Wirtz’s commitment to the selection of the sporting challenge in Leverkusen and now Liverpool is in line with other young stars.
In a similar way, Erling developed Haaland a development from Molde to Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and now city.
“If you look at someone like Haaland and how carefully his career is curated, I think Wirtz is in a similar way,” added Brassell.
“He is one of a generation of young players, like Kylian Mbappe, who know what his stages are.
“I think it was planned to a certain extent. He made the move to Leverkusen at the right time.
“He decided because it went in Leverkusen because I think he reacted to the situation and how good it was there, especially in recent years that it wasn’t enough for him to go to Bavaria.

“Obviously he has injured at the moment, but the fact that he and Jamal Musiala are very well received, they worked very well for the German national team in the euro 2024. I think there was a way to a smoother if he went to Bavaria.
“There is no doubt that he has taken a massive risk because it is a World Cup year. He wants to be a starter for Germany.
“For example, if you compare it to Karim Benzema and leave Lyon in 2009 and go to Real Madrid.
“If he stayed in Lyon for the additional year and is 20 years old at that time, not a completely different age profile and rather similar to Florian Wirtz, he is in the 2010 World Cup. There is no doubt about it. He drives in. But he goes to Real Madrid.

“He also tries to adapt. He is also not that worldly. So it is also the stuff outside the game.
“Then after this really ordinary first year in Madrid he does not go to the World Cup.
“Now it obviously works for Benzema in the whole. He has a great career.
“But I think you look at this and sometimes it is not recognized, perhaps in England, at least what a risk of Florian Wirtz has taken. But he took this risk because he believes in himself.”

Why does Wirtz have to fight and when will he be good in Liverpool?
At his own discretion, Wirtz has tried to get under control with the pace and intensity of the Premier League.
In Liverpool, the German international also has to do a lot more work out of the ball than in Leverkusen.
As a result. Wirtz failed his usual explosiveness on the ball after using a lot of strength and energy elsewhere.
Brassell said: “Now look, I think there are a lot of different reasons why he has not completely smashed it for Liverpool.
“I think a large part of it is to get to the physical level because I remember that Xabi Alonso said to me when I spoke to him in the season that Leverkusen won the doubles.

“He basically said that everyone has a role in the team. Everyone has duties that they have to fulfill, but Flo gets a little pass.
“So me [Alonso] Trust him to really interpret the role as he wants. I trust his judgment about the field.
“At that time he had Granit Xhaka, Robert Andrich and Exequiel Palacios to take the race for him and to cover it.
“I think it is unrealistic to expect that this is her role in the Premier League.

“There has to be a little more. He has to be a little more sporty. He has to do more from the ball.
“This is an incredibly steep climb. Well, remember when he came back from his ACL injury in Leverkusen, it took a long time to recover.
“It took 10 months when he was injured and when he played again.
“It took another couple to really play very well again.

“So if you look at a kind of diagram of physical improvement so that Wirtz arrives from where it arrived, it will take a while for Liverpool to get it to get it.
“What he has on his side is the fact that a, you won, and B, you are in a position where he does not have to play every single game, and you have a great bank and you can put it under a bit.
“But with regard to his talent, I have absolutely no doubt about his mentality.
“If Bayern say, so to speak, you know, we told you that it would not happen – I don’t think there is so much of what we told you.
“You are more, you rejected us? Do you know who we are? I think that is more what you feel at the moment and what you felt about the decision of Nick Wolemade.”
