Didi Hamann is doubtful as to whether Florian Wirtz is enjoying his football at Liverpool and has the self-belief to succeed at Anfield.The Germany playmaker became the Reds’ first £100m signing when he joined from Bayer Leverkusen in June 2025, but a disappointing debut campaign saw him score just seven times in 49 appearances.The 23-year-old has also been the subject of much scepticism in the early weeks of this season, with just one assist to his name in six outings, and Jamie Carragher questioned whether our number 7 should even be in the starting XI.Hamann suggests Wirtz is ‘not happy’ at LiverpoolAlthough Wirtz netted for Germany during the international window and had the honour of captaining his country for the first time, Hamann fears that the self-confidence has ebbed away from his compatriot when wearing a Liverpool shirt.The former Reds midfielder told Sky Sport Austria: “I don’t know if he still believes he can make it. When I see him for Liverpool, I often get the impression that he’s not happy.

“That’s a player who has joy; you see that with every action and say he’s just doing it. He just enjoys playing football.(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)“I haven’t seen that in him for months, and I don’t know if he still has this belief to say, ‘I will prevail’.

I don’t know if he still has that. For me, he doesn’t make that impression at the moment.“I think it’s good that he went or wanted to go to England, because of course it is the league where the best players go and is probably the toughest league… In retrospect, would he do it again?
