Wirtz conquered Liverpool: Slot explains his transformation

Florian Wirtz has finally exploded at Liverpool, showing his qualities in the Premier League as well after a fluctuating first part of the season. The’former Bayer Leverkusen star, who appeared lost and struggling in the first few games with the Reds, has regained his ideal form and was rewarded with the January Premier League’s best player award.

The numbers testify to her growth: she has scored four times in the last seven league games, and has also found the net in the FA Cup and Champions League. His versatility is very valuable to coach Arne Slot, who in the past month has deployed him as a left winger, a right winger, a trequartista, and even a central striker, always getting excellent results.

The numbers testify to his growth.

And Slot himself is the most enthusiastic about the growth of his player: “I have to give high praise for the player, for how he has worked not only on the field but also in the gym. Although he struggled a bit at the beginning, it was important to continue to let him play, because that&#8217s the only way he can improve and find confidence” said the Dutch coach at a press conference.

“He hasn&#8217t improved much with the ball and foot: he was already outstanding from the start. But now he has a better understanding with his teammates, because they play together more and more. And his biggest improvement has been his movement without the ball. Thanks to this growth he can do great things in the Premier League”.

Liverpool is clinging to Wirtz&#8217s qualities to climb up the standings, which now see them only in sixth place: the goal is qualification for the next Champions League. The German national landed at Liverpool for the sum of 125 million euros and has a salary of 12 million euros per season plus bonuses.
