Slot expressed satisfaction with the German international's recent performances as Liverpool aim to extend their unbeaten run to six games against Tottenham this weekend.Although Wirtz is yet to officially score in the league, he played a significant role in Nordi Mukiele's own goal during the recent 1-1 draw with Sunderland, with his shot deflecting off the defender and into the net. However, the creative midfielder, who has reportedly gained over 2.5 kilograms of muscle through the programme, is beginning to find his stride in England, according to Slot.Slot explained: "To come back to your question, I hope I made it clear that I am talking not just about the new players (who have needed to adapt) but players in general, Florian has improved a lot.

That is my take.Florian Wirtz has been hard at work behind the scenes. I have played players during the season when you would usually take pre-season for that."The only way to get Florian stronger, Macca (Alexis Mac Allister), Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez, is to play games."So yeah, it's a combination of things but definitely also about the gym work where they all get stronger."
