Wirtz's father: His son does not regret joining Liverpool, and we turned a deaf ear to criticism from famous players
6686 Sports News, November 16th Despite Wirtz's average performance after joining Liverpool, his father and agent Hans Wirtz recently made it clear that his son has "no regrets" about his decision to switch to Liverpool.
The German starlet transferred to Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen this summer for a price of up to 116 million pounds. Wirtz has yet to shine in the Premier League and has been placed on the bench many times recently.
Due to the failure to quickly show the high-profile competitive state during the Leverkusen period, the outside world has been discussing this. Old Wirtz was not impressed by this. He said in an interview with Cologne City News: "I only turn a deaf ear to the criticisms of those former international players. Florian is a young man and he expects to prove himself in a new environment. There is less than one third goal in the season, everything is expected, this is completely normal The adaptation process has nothing to do with the transfer fee. "
He also added: "If you look at the data carefully, you will find that Florian's participation in the game is actually quite good, but his goals and assists have not caught up yet."
Talking about leaving Le. Regarding Leverkusen's feelings, the elder Wirtz said frankly: "We spent a very happy time in Leverkusen. Every time I pass by the Bayer Arena, I will miss it a little. But that is just my personal emotion. Florian took the initiative to take this step in order to become a better player. He is not backward at all. Regret, I am living very well in Liverpool now, I look forward to practicing every day, and I have integrated well into the team. "We are 100% satisfied with the current situation." In fact, the old Wirtz expressed a similar view in an interview with "Bild" earlier this month. He acknowledged that his son still has room for improvement, but also emphasized that he has smoothly adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.
"I planned to observe him through the first ten rounds of the league from the beginning. Now we and Florian are satisfied with the progress. The Premier League has an incredible speed of transition between offense and defense, and the running distance and rhythm are significantly higher. But I believe that as time goes by, everything will be on track."
