However, he was not deemed to have been fouled, so Germany were not awarded a penalty.Unsurprisingly, the theatrics didn't sit well with the home supporters, and Wirtz was subjected to jeers each time he got on the ball.

Wirtz has been unable to find the net or provide an assist in any of his opening nine games for Liverpool.The midfielder would have been eager to break his goal drought whilst away on international duty, but he drew blanks against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland. Speaking to Sport 1 on Friday, Nagelsmann spoke about Wirtz's current form."Even though he hasn't scored any goals, he is still the player who creates the most chances in the Premier League," said the Germany boss.

He hasn't always had it easy – he'll have to work hard now too."Later, addressing journalists on Sunday, Nagelsmann added: "I think it's the normal way when you go to a new club, to a new league, it's not that easy at the beginning."He will adapt, I think, very quickly, and he will score goals for Liverpool and he will create a lot of chances. Probably he can score tomorrow and I will be very happy for him and for us."When questioned about whether he had spotted a change in Wirtz's self-assurance, Nagelsmann continued: "I think the first time when we met after the summer period, it was kind of special for him because he was new at Liverpool and then in the first time in the national team [after his move]."We had a long meeting and discussed the situation but now he's the old Wirtz, a good mood, and I hope we will see him perform tomorrow evening very well."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
