Florian Wirtz joined the Premier League champions from Bayer Leverkusen, and he was expected to hit the ground running in the Premier League. So far, he has not been able to live up to the expectations. Naturally, he has attracted a lot of criticism.
Liverpool icon Dietmar Hamann has now sounded out a warning to his compatriot. The former Manchester City midfielder believes that Wirtz will need to turn things around soon and improve on his current form if he wants to continue at the Premier League club. Liverpool will start getting worried about his future at the club if he continues to drop underwhelming performances. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
He said on , “If Wirtz continues to remain as anonymous as he has been, something will happen at Liverpool. There will certainly be discussions about how long they will continue to work with him.”
Liverpool need more quality and cutting edge in the final third, and they invested in the German international so that he can help them improve going forward. So far, Wirtz has not been able to make the desired impact. They will certainly hope that he can turn things around in the coming months.
There is no doubt that the 22-year-old is a quality player with a bright future. Wirtz has the technical attributes to compete at the highest level, and he could be a key player for Liverpool with the right guidance.
Liverpool paid a substantial amount of money for him, and they will not want the player to flop. They will certainly hope that the young playmaker can regain his form and confidence. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are struggling as a team right now, and blaming the German international solely would be reckless. Wirtz is a young player who will need some time to adapt to English football, and Liverpool will need to be patient with him. Meanwhile, they should work on improving as a team.
