The "Liverpool” club is demonstrating a recovery phase at this stage of the season.

The team’s midfielder Florian Wirtz, who joined the team last summer, is also performing excellently.

Head coach Arne Slot praised this German player before the match against "Manchester City”:

"I think it’s important to first mention that the credit goes to the player, as he does a lot of work not only on the field but also off it.”

"Then there’s the coach, who might have struggled a bit at the beginning of this season.”

"F. Wirtz needed to be allowed to continue playing, as this is the only way the new player can develop.”

"Perhaps the German currently has a better connection with his teammates, as he is playing with them more and more.”

"I can also see how he has improved his play without the ball.”

22-year-old Florian Wirtz has scored 6 goals and provided 8 assists in 32 matches this season.

The "Liverpool” club is in sixth place in the English Premier League with 39 points.
