Florian Wirtz was Germany’s best player on the pitch in the 2-0 win against Serbia, with one goal and one assist. In England, however, his strong performance raised a few question marks.
Florian Wirtz has emphatically answered his early-season critics with a truly stunning match-winning performance for the Germany national team. The talented Liverpool playmaker provided a crucial pass and scored a brilliant individual goal against Serbia, earning immense praise from Jurgen Klopp.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente (65) believes Jürgen Klopp (59) is capable of leading the Germany national team back to the top of the world game. But he said it would require a great deal of patience. The World Cup and European Championship-winning coach also waxed lyrical about a midfield star in the DFB team.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has openly discussed the challenges Florian Wirtz is currently facing at Liverpool following his high-profile transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bayern Munich executive expressed genuine surprise at how the attacking midfielder's career has stalled in England, while also addressing the growing speculation regarding a potential blockbuster return to Germany.
Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp has vigorously defended Florian Wirtz after difficult months at Liverpool - and announced that he will handle him carefully.
Jurgen Klopp’s start to life as Germany head coach has been hit by a significant double injury blow following the Nations League stalemate against the Netherlands.

Liverpool's high-profile move for Florian Wirtz last summer is being labelled a total disaster as former Reds star Didi Hamann suggests the club should prepare to cut their losses. The German international has failed to live up to his massive price tag, sparking intense debate over whether he will ever adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
After his recent performances, fresh criticism has been raining down on Florian Wirtz almost daily. Yet the Germany international is more important to Liverpool than it might appear at first glance.
Dietmar Hamann (53), the former Germany international who played for Bayern Munich and Liverpool, is increasingly doubtful that Florian Wirtz’s (23) spell with the Reds will become a success story. He has also raised the possibility of a move to Bayern Munich.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has jumped to the defence of Florian Wirtz following a scathing assessment from club legend Jamie Carragher. Despite a difficult afternoon at the Vitality Stadium, the Reds boss insists his marquee summer signing played a vital role in securing a hard-fought victory.
