In Sky Sports' new series "You 'll Never Wirtz Alone", German celebrity Harman analyzed the performance of German attacker Wirtz who played for Liverpool. He believes that the game against Atletico Madrid is his best performance since joining the Reds, and the way of playing in the Champions League may be beneficial to him.
In the Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, Wilz received a standing ovation from Liverpool fans when he was substituted. Coach Slot also expressed his satisfaction with Wilz after the game, praising him for "becoming better and better in form and adapting to us", and said it is normal for players to take time to adapt: "We all know how great he is, but sometimes people forget that he is only 22 years old and is playing abroad for the first time."
Harman said on the show: "So far, most of the games at Liverpool have nothing to do with him, and he lacks confidence at this time, But the game against Atletico Madrid may be his best game to date. "
However, Harman added: "The way to play in the Champions League is somewhat different, not as wild and fast as the Premier League. This may be in his favor in some way."
Although the German international, who was previously criticized in the British media, still has no gains in the goal statistics, he created five opportunities in this game - more than any other player on the court. However, neither Flynnon (43rd minute) nor Salah (65th minute) grasped his pass.
Harman said: "He needs a decisive move, an assist or a goal now so he can feel that he has been integrated and belonging to the team. I haven't seen that feeling in Wilz yet."
Wilz's teammate and friend Flynnpon said in an official interview with the club: "He's just started, I spent four years with him at Leverkusen, and I know what he can do. I can see that. This will come. People will see more of him."
Liverpool will have a Merseyside derby with Everton this Saturday, and Harman reminded: "Saturday's game will be wild and hot, and the derby game will always be very intense. Wilz has to adapt to the pace of the league and mature quickly. The coach gave him time and victory helps. But he has to start affecting the game on the offensive end at some point."
