In an interview with RTL via Sport.de<\/a>, <\/strong>ex-Liverpool head coach J\u00fcrgen Klopp has given his thoughts on Florian Wirtz and his start to life in the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There has been an onslaught of talk surrounding Wirtz following his slow start to his career at the Premier League champions following his \u20ac125m move from Bayer Leverkusen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Klopp on Liverpool’s summer signing:<\/h3>\n

Everyone continues to give their thoughts on the 22-year-old’s start to his time in England, from Julian Nagelsmann<\/a> to Rudi V\u00f6ller<\/a>. Now, former Liverpool manager Klopp has weighed in on the current hot topic:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“I don’t have to worry about Florian Wirtz because his quality is so outstanding. Of course, everything is fine, and everyone knows that. The discussion is certainly being blown out of proportion. <\/span>Liverpool have just lost three games in a row \u2013 it’s unusual for something like that to happen after such a long time. But it’s also normal in life. That’s why these things are discussed. I’ve been in the middle of such discussions long enough now, and I can tell you: Nothing could interest people less than the public discussions that are taking place there. So it doesn’t matter, and everything will be fine. <\/span>(Wirtz is) a once-in-a-century talent, and at some point he’ll show that in every game again, as he did at Leverkusen. (He has) a stable environment at Liverpool, and the club is great in moments like these. If anyone’s worried\u2014you don’t have to! You can stop.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wirtz’s slow Liverpool start:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The reason there is so much discussion surrounding Wirtz is because of the fact that he has yet to register a goal or an assist in the Premier League or Champions League. On top of Liverpool’s recent poor run of form, the 22-year-old has been used as a scapegoat for their problems, even though most of the Premier League champions’ problems are coming from other players in the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Everyone familiar with Wirtz’s style of play knows that once it clicks, he will be fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
