"The 22-year-old looked a world class talent during his time in the Bundesliga, and it's a bit of a surprise to see him struggle so much at Liverpool. Wirtz has 0 goals and 0 assists for Arne Slot's side so far, and although he's shown some promising moments, it's not really enough to justify the big fee the Reds paid for him. Voller, however, seems unconcerned by Wirtz's struggles to adapt, saying this is the kind of normal adjustment period any player can go through."
"Voller, who also managed the German national team to a World Cup final in 2002, and worked as a sporting director at Wirtz's old club Leverkusen, clearly isn't giving up on the Germany international just yet. Florian shouldn't let himself get carried away. I have no concerns about that. He'll show the English what he's made of, he told Bild (via Sport Witness). Florian is playing in a new league and a new club. These are normal adjustment problems. Almost every professional has them. I have no doubt that with his running and playing ability, he will make the breakthrough."
Rudi Voller is unconcerned about Florian Wirtz's slow start at Liverpool and frames it as a normal adaptation to a new league, club, and country. Wirtz arrived from Bayer Leverkusen with high expectations after strong Bundesliga form but currently has zero goals and assists for Arne Slot's side despite some promising moments. Voller cites Wirtz's running and playing ability and expresses confidence that the 22-year-old will adapt and make a breakthrough. Patience is advised while the manager integrates Wirtz and seeks to return the wider team to form.
