Florian isn't like that."He's not only an extraordinary footballer, he also has a great character. "I have no concerns about that: He'll show the English what he's made of."Florian is playing in a new league and a new club.
I've experienced that myself."Schweinsteiger made his own switch to the Premier League with Manchester United in 2015, only to discover himself frozen out by incoming boss Jose Mourinho after merely one campaign.Drawing from his own experience, he doesn't anticipate Wirtz will encounter similar difficulties."He will delight us all moving forward," he continued. We should be happy that we have such a player in Germany."Whilst Matthaus never featured in England, he did sign for Inter Milan in 1988 in his own high-profile switch."That's normal after such a big move abroad," he told Sky Germany last month.
However, similar to Voller, he highlighted that Wirtz would receive 'almost every ball' from his teammates at Leverkusen, whereas that wouldn't be the situation at Anfield."There's a lot of competition within the Liverpool team, and expectations of Florian Wirtz have increased from the outside," he said. "Or rather the expectations he has of himself."And at the beginning, it won't be like it was in Leverkusen, where everyone plays for him and he gets almost every ball."That's why it's legitimate that he still needs to find his way around a bit.
