Germany Coach Nagelsmann Urges Patience As Liverpool's Wirtz Adjusts

Liverpool's high-profile signing Florian Wirtz has experienced a slow start in the Premier League, failing to score or assist in his initial appearances, but former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes Wirtz will succeed if he shows bravery and adapts to the team's style under manager Arne Slot. Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann, who considers Wirtz a key player for the national team, has expressed confidence that the midfielder will return to form after needing time to adjust to the new culture, league, stadium, and club environment at Liverpool. Nagelsmann emphasized that Liverpool's squad is built on a strong overall structure rather than individual performances, which explains Wirtz's subdued early impact. He predicted that Wirtz will deliver strong performances, including goals and assists, soon and could start showcasing his quality during upcoming international matches. Germany captain Joshua Kimmich highlighted the financial power of the Premier League, noting that this summer saw many top Bundesliga players, including Wirtz, move to England for substantial fees, reflecting the league's significant resources and market dynamics. Overall, experts and coaches remain optimistic about Wirtz's future contributions to Liverpool as he acclimates to his new club.
