Liverpool have been busy building a squad that can compete at the highest level under new manager Arne Slot.

The club has made important moves in the transfer market, and one of the biggest is the signing of German star Florian Wirtz.

For Liverpool fans, it is always interesting to hear why a player chooses Anfield over other options.

It is not only about the money or the league.

Often, it comes down to the manager’s vision, the atmosphere around the club, and how a player feels he will fit into the team.

Wirtz’s arrival comes at a time when competition between the Premier League and the Bundesliga is very strong.

Both leagues are known for producing top talent, but the Premier League has built a reputation for its physical intensity and its global spotlight.

For a player like Wirtz, moving from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool is more than a career step, it is a new challenge in the most demanding league in the world.

When asked about his decision in an interview with Kicker, Wirtz explained that one of the first things that struck him was the Anfield atmosphere.

“I felt it in my entire body that it was something special when you were standing in the middle of the stadium, and the whole stadium was singing this song

It gave you a little extra energy before the game.”

But the biggest factor in his choice was his early talks with Arne Slot.

“The discussions with Arne were very, very good from the very beginning.”

“He won me over from the very first meeting.”

“He gave me clear ideas and a clear vision of how he could and wanted to use me in his team.”

“This, combined with the composition of the team, really convinced me.”

He also shared his thoughts on the difference between German and English football.

“It’s not a completely different kind of football, just a game like any other.”

“However, it’s more physically intense and perhaps involves a bit more running.”

“The opponents are on your heels more the whole time.”

“But I’m used to that from the Bundesliga, where I was often under special protection.”

Liverpool fans will be glad to hear that Wirtz not only believes in Slot’s vision but also feels ready for the demands of the Premier League.
