Florian Wirtz has revealed the motivational words shared by his Liverpool teammates ahead of the crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The German playmaker, who has quickly become a key figure in Arne Slot’s squad, spoke about the unity and determination within the dressing room as the Reds prepare to face one of their biggest rivals.

Wirtz highlighted the positive atmosphere and the collective belief that has grown following back-to-back victories, including a memorable win over Real Madrid in the Champions League. He noted that his teammates have been vocal about the importance of maintaining their momentum and continuing to raise their performance levels, especially against top opposition like City.

According to Wirtz, senior players and new signings alike have emphasized the need for consistency, hard work, and staying focused on the process rather than the outcome. He mentioned that the squad is fully aware of the challenge that awaits at the Etihad, but they are confident in their abilities and the tactics put in place by the coaching staff.

Wirtz also shared that his teammates have praised his adaptability and work ethic, both on and off the pitch. Nationalmannschaft teammate David Raum recently commended Wirtz for his energy and dedication, which has further fueled his motivation. The 22-year-old playmaker is expected to play a pivotal role in Liverpool’s attacking setup, potentially operating in a more fluid position that allows him freedom in the final third.

As Liverpool look to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal, Wirtz’s insights into the team’s mindset and the encouragement from his teammates underscore the collective ambition driving the Reds forward in what promises to be a pivotal stage of the season.
