Liverpool’s plan works. Wirtz He scored his first goal in a Liverpool shirt and as if it were a bit of a balm, the German has opened ‘Pandora’s Box’. “It was very good. I was confident that one day I would score. Of course, I wanted to start scoring and assisting earlier, but I knew it would come…” It has not been the best adaptation for the young German star, but the planned plan for Liverpool begins to bear fruit. And what fruits.
The physical Wirtz transformation to perform as the Premier asks starts to be evident. Six months after being announced by Liverpool and many hours of work behind, the German takes the physical tone that demands a liga as athletically demanding as the English. He has gained more muscle and it is clear that Wirtz has become toned with hours in the gym. Wirtz is stronger. Slot a few weeks ago already showed that Wirtz was beginning to get better: “Many have gained kilos and muscle. That’s one thing. And secondly, if you’re only in the gym you can’t be prepared for 90 minutes of Premier League football. It’s about playing. I would say that the necessary setting is also obtained from training, but we almost never do it, so it is play, play and play. Wirtz has improved a lot.”

23 games later and when the rumor about the many millions spent on his signing was already too heavy a burden, Wirtz stretched to score his first goal… and at Anfield. A step forward which is not coincidental. In part it is thanks to the fact that he has managed to combine his great quality with physical effort and the intensity that Liverpool’s electric game demands. “The only way to improve these players is to make them play,” the Dutch coach insisted on Wirtz. When the red team has suffered a crisis of results, combined with the injuries of Gakpo, Isak or the entrenched megacrisis with Salah, Wirtz has always been available. Not even an iota of injury. All under strict surveillance by Liverpool to be careful with the German. And now you can see the green shoots.
