“He usually sends me a short message after the [Liverpool] game to congratulate me if it was good, also to tell me what wasn’t good, which I’m also happy about,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a given that the national coach takes so much time to watch the games at the club and then say something about them, and that’s why I’m very happy that he’s so interested in it.” Klopp himself spoke about Wirtz again just before his player faced the press, reiterating his belief that he will continue to improve for Liverpool.
