Florian Wirtz is yet to impress since his arrival on Merseyside, with no goals or assists in 11 Premier League matches. Acquired for a hefty €140 million from Bayer Leverkusen, his performance has been disappointing. The German international, who has 35 caps and 8 goals to his name, struggled once again during the match against Manchester City on Sunday.

<p>During the match, Wirtz was overwhelmed by the intense play from Manchester City, alongside his teammates. He was replaced by Federico Chiesa ten minutes before the end, finishing the game with no shots on target, 9 lost balls, and only 50% success in duels. Playing on the left side of Liverpool's attack, the 1.77m tall right-footer struggled against Matheus Nunes but refused to give up when the final whistle blew.</p>

<h3>Wirtz Expresses Frustration</h3>
<p>*“I know this position well, but I can also play as a striker, number 10, or on the left wing. I always try to give my best and be important for the team,”* Wirtz said, reflecting on his challenging start in England. *“I believe I have a good understanding with my teammates on the pitch. I strive to improve every match and help create opportunities. I hope that in the weeks and months to come, we can score more goals, but for now, I’m focused on helping the team with my strengths.”*</p>

<p>Addressing his tough adaptation, Wirtz, for the first time, shared his frustration. *“It’s definitely different here in the Premier League, but after eleven matches, I’ve adapted. I know what to expect now, so there’s no need to dwell on it. I’m here to help the team win, and unfortunately, it didn’t work out today.”* As he seeks to turn around his fortunes at Liverpool, Wirtz faces the challenge of proving his critics wrong week after week.</p> Add Footem.in As your Preferred Source on Google
