Nagelsmann Backs Wirtz, Calls for Collective Help as Liverpool Role Proves Complex

Nagelsmann argues Liverpool's stacked attack limits Florian Wirtz's chances.

Overview

  • Speaking from Germany’s camp in Wolfsburg, Nagelsmann urged coaches and teammates to help Wirtz clear his head in both the national setup and at Liverpool.
  • He said Wirtz showed improved game intensity in October after a dip in September, though the 22-year-old still needs time.
  • The Germany coach stressed he cannot influence the player’s club form and described Liverpool’s situation as very complex.
  • He noted fierce competition in a five-forward frontline and said that environment makes regular starts difficult.
  • He criticized Liverpool’s failure to finish chances Wirtz creates and pointed to the team’s reduced stability this season, including the 3-0 loss to Manchester City.
