Spain’s national team manager Luis de la Fuente is best in class. European Championship, Nations League, World Cup. All won on his watch, not surprisingly, the Spanish Football Federation gave the 65-year-old a new contract with conditions as one of the highest-paid national team coaches in the world. So when the Spaniard picks the one player he could really have wanted in the Spanish national team, you listen. We recommend Liverpool supporters to pay special attention.
Because it’s about Florian Wirtz. The 23-year-old who is described by many on the ball island as a flop in the Liverpool shirt, a historically expensive flop. Liverpool coach Andonio Iraola is convinced Wirtz will be a very valuable player in the Liverpool attack, but the supporters are unlikely to be as optimistic. This may change when the world’s best national team coach points to Wirtz.

When asked by German Sport Bild if there is a German player he currently wants to see play for Spain, de la Fuente replied:
-Florian Wirtz. He’s fantastic. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a Spanish passport (laughs). I like the way he plays, says the Spanish success coach.

Of all the players in Jürgen Squad’s squad, it is Wirtz who would have earned a place in the starting eleven of the world’s best football nation. Something to take with them for Liverpool supporters.
