One thing the Basque and his Liverpool coaching team have started to get right has been exactly how to help Florian Wirtz get back to being his best self. Andoni Iraola needs to help Florian Wirtz settle There are many reasons why Wirtz has not been able to show his true colours consistently at Liverpool, with the upheaval and tragedy at the club shortly after his arrival last summer usually cited as one of the main contributing factors.
According to Klinsmann, that is simply down to Wirtz feeling settled in his environment, something which his coaches and the people around him at Liverpool must now help him become at Anfield. Everybody expected him to be the same player in Liverpool as he was in Leverkusen, or when he plays for the German national team, then you have some injury problems and suddenly you feel like you’re in the wrong spot.” READ MORE: Liverpool could be looking at another Luis Diaz style signing in January “The challenge now for the coaching staff at Liverpool is how can we make him as happy in Liverpool as he was with Bayer Leverkusen or with the German team.
“There is no guarantee with these big transfers, if you transfer Lamine Yamal from Barcelona to Man City there’s absolutely zero guarantee that he’s the same Lamine Yamal in Man City as he is in Barcelona because the area is different, the food is different, the environment is different, the people around you are different and you may be not as happy as you were before.” For Wirtz’s part, he does seem happy at Liverpool and there is no suggestion at all that he regrets taking the bold decision to snub Bayern Munich and leave Germany when joining the Reds last year. But there is certainly a part Iraola and his staff can play in that, and with no more national team duties on the calendar until March, they must rise to the challenge of helping Wirtz feel just as happy at club level as he is with his country.
