Federico Chiesa has shared his thoughts on fellow young star Florian Wirtz, offering a glowing assessment of the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder. Speaking in a recent interview, Chiesa praised Wirtz for his maturity, technical ability, and impact on the pitch, highlighting him as one of the most exciting talents in European football today.
Chiesa, who has faced Wirtz in both club and international competition, noted the German’s composure under pressure and his knack for making decisive contributions in big moments. “Florian is a special player,” Chiesa said. “He has the ability to change a game with his vision and creativity. What stands out most is his intelligence—he reads the game so well for someone so young.”
The Liverpool winger also commended Wirtz’s work ethic and professionalism, qualities he believes have accelerated his rise to the top level. “He’s not just talented; he’s dedicated and always looking to improve. That’s why he’s already playing such an important role for his club and country.”
Chiesa’s comments come at a time when Wirtz is attracting attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with speculation about a potential transfer growing louder. Chiesa, however, believes Wirtz is making the right choice by continuing to develop at Leverkusen for now. “He’s in a good environment there, surrounded by great players and coaches. It’s the perfect place for him to keep growing.”
Looking ahead, Chiesa expressed excitement at the prospect of facing Wirtz again in future competitions, both at club and international level. “It’s always a challenge to play against someone so gifted, but it’s also a pleasure. He’s a player who makes football more enjoyable for everyone.”
Chiesa’s verdict underscores the high regard in which Wirtz is held by his peers, and further cements the German’s reputation as one of the brightest young stars in world football.
