The young midfielder, who holds the record for the most expensive signing in the club&#8217;s history, is yet to make an impact, failing to score or assist in his first seven Premier League matches since transferring from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of \u00a3100 million, with potential performance bonuses adding another \u00a316 million.<\/p>\n<p>Wirtz arrived at Liverpool with an impressive background, boasting 57 goals and 65 assists in 197 Bundesliga matches. However, his transition to the Premier League has been less smooth than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Nagelsmann addressed Wirtz\u2019s current struggles, pointing out that it&#8217;s not unusual for a young player to take time to adjust to a new league. He noted that Wirtz has actually created more chances than any other player in the Premier League, even if his teammates haven&#8217;t turned those opportunities into goals yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if he hasn\u2019t scored, he\u2019s still creating the most chances in the league,\u201d said Nagelsmann. \u201cIt\u2019s not his fault if others can\u2019t finish, and the stats don\u2019t tell the whole story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite Wirtz\u2019s past success at Leverkusen, adapting to life in the Premier League hasn\u2019t been easy for him. Liverpool has also faced its own struggles, with other key players like Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah not performing consistently. <\/p>\n<p>Nagelsmann emphasized that getting used to the Premier League takes time, urging fans to be patient with Wirtz. \u201cHe needs to adjust to the league. I\u2019ve seen him play freely before; he knows his abilities. It hasn\u2019t been easy for him so far, but hard work will help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wirtz and the Liverpool squad are set to face Manchester United on October 19. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ends &#8211;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nagelsmann Backs Wirtz Amid Slow Start at Liverpool Germany&#8217;s national coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has come to the defense of Florian Wirtz, who is facing a challenging start at Liverpool.
