Florian Wirtz has been under a lot of pressure so far after failing to live up to expectations. It looked like a real coup just a few months ago as Liverpool had beaten the likes of Bayern Munich to his signature, with the safe move being for the 22-year-old to stay in his homeland.However, he took a gamble that is yet to pay off, with many wondering if he is starting to regret his choice, something his father has now cleared up once and for all.Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty ImagesFlorian Wirtz does not regret joining LiverpoolA £116m price tag really would weigh heavy on any player, let alone a player moving to a new country for the first time aged just 22.Due to this, though, as well as Liverpool’s terrible run of form, Wirtz has been under the spotlight, with fans demanding a lot more than what they are seeing.The amount of criticism he had would leave many players ready to give up and perhaps even regretful of their decision, but according to Wirtz’s dad, he is happy that he chose Liverpool.

“Florian is a young man who wants to prove himself in a new environment, and less than a third of the season has been played,” he told Koner Stadt-Anzeiger.“So far, everything is going as expected; it’s a completely normal settling-in process, entirely independent of any transfer fee.“And if you look at the statistics more closely, you can see that Florian’s stats regarding his involvement in the game are already quite good; only assists and goals are still pending.”READ MORE: Liverpool fans given even more reason to worry over Alexander Isak after Graham Potter comments Do you want Ibrahima Konate to sign a new contract and stay at Liverpool? And he doesn’t regret it at all.

“He’s doing well in Liverpool, he looks forward to every training session, and he’s settled in with the team. We’re 100 percent satisfied with how things are going so far.”Florian Wirtz looks like a different player for GermanyEvery time he has gone away on international duty, Wirtz looks a lot happier and even more free, with this being shown in his performance.This is likely as he has settled and is much more comfortable around his teammates, many of whom he would have known for a very long time.So, once he settles more at Liverpool and feels more comfortable expressing himself, then his performance will come on leaps and bounds.Between now and March is a big period for the 22-year-old as there are no more international breaks until then, meaning that this could be the most pivotal period in his development.Perhaps Arne Slot needs to give him a little more freedom in the team like he has for Germany, with this when he is at his creative best, but whether that would work in the Premier League is as good a guess as any.
