Florian Wirtz (Liverpool)
November 2025

With scrutiny mounting after a 3–0 loss to Manchester City, Nagelsmann urged patience for Wirtz, noting Liverpool’s instability and poor finishing are masking his chance creation. He framed the adaptation dip as normal for a young import into the Premier League. Germany will manage Wirtz’s minutes and role clarity during the break, while Liverpool focus on cleaner structures around him and sharper end product from forwards. The message: reduce noise, keep his creative touches, and let confidence rebuild through incremental wins.
