Wirtz is currently with Germany at the World Cup, where he played the full 90 minutes in his side's 2-1 win over Ivory Coast on Saturday night, having done the same in the 7-1 win over Curacao.Klopp watched the game in Toronto as a pundit for German channel Magenta TV, and he said that Wirtz needs to be given the ball as high up the pitch as possible to create space for his side.“The important thing is that we involve him in the game. There were moments against Curacao when I thought, just give him the ball,” said Klopp.“Not even because he was the best passing option, but because, as a team-mate, I want Flo Wirtz to feel good.“If I were (defender Nico) Schlotterbeck, I’d just give him the ball five times for no particular reason and see what he does.“If you really want Flo Wirtz to get into a rhythm, if you want the place to really be buzzing, then give him the ball, because that’s when he feels completely at home."You can read more about what Klopp had to say about Wirtz right here.Jurgen Klopp has given his thoughts on Florian Wirtz's performances at the World Cup(Image: Getty Images)Today07:44 BSTAndoni Iraola issued with early warningAndoni Iraola has been warned that he needs to hit the ground running at Liverpool, as he has only signed a two-year contract with the club.Eyebrows were raised over the short length of the contract that Iraola signed, even though he signed similar agreements earlier in his managerial career.Former Liverpool goalkeeper David James warned that with just a short deal, the Basque will have to impress quickly in the role.
