But the moment Florian made himself available, he always got the ball. But he isn’t played to in the way he was used to at Leverkusen or with the national team.“That’s something that has to be developed over weeks and months.



Florian isn’t like that.“He’s not only an extraordinary footballer, he also has a great character. He also has incredible running stats.

He will assert himself.”Two more Germany World Cup winners, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm, have also offered their backing to Wirtz, with Schweinsteiger drawing on his time having to adapt to moving to Manchester United from Bayern Munich in 2015.Speaking to RTL, he said: "We have to give the players a bit of time. We should be happy that we have such a player in Germany."And Lahm said: “I'm not worried about Florian Wirtz at all because he's such an outstanding, brilliant player who simply makes his team-mates better."Quality and class always prevail, and that will absolutely be the case with Florian Wirtz."
