He's an incredible talent and player."Klopp told RTL in the same month: "I don't have to worry about Florian Wirtz because his quality is so outstanding. If anyone's worried - you don't have to!

There were moments against Curacao when I thought, 'just give him the ball'," Klopp explained when analysing Germany's 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast."If you really want Flo Wirtz to get into a rhythm, if you want the place to really be buzzing, then give him the ball, because that's when he feels completely at home. It's important to involve him because that's when Flo can feel confident and comfortable on the pitch."He shouldn't drop back and get the ball from his own penalty area and we expect him to start making plays, we have to find moments where we can use this position, because with his positioning he creates a lot of space for the players next to him, for the full-backs and for everyone who can make runs into those space."Join our LFC WhatsApp community and get all the latest LFC news, views, transfer gossip and more, as it happens We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
