Vladimir Smicer, a Champions League winner with Liverpool back in 2005, believes the club's new head coach must find a way to get the very best out of the 23-year-old."I think the price tag and the transfer money from Leverkusen to Liverpool was big, and the pressure was on Wirtz with statistics about how much his goals and assists cost," Smicer told Casinostugan."But a player like him will be under pressure all the time. In Liverpool, we were trying to find his best position all season.

He was playing right, left, as a striker, and behind the striker."If you buy a player for 130 million euros, you need to put him in his favourite position and build the team around him. You need to play him in his best position and then change other players."Smicer added: "If you spend that kind of money on Alexander Isak or Florian Wirtz, you must play them in their best position.

He will still perform, but he's not going to be at his best. So I hope for him and for Germany that they play him in his best position so he can perform...
