On Thursday, Die Mannschaft’s first win came with Jürgen Klopp in charge, 2-0 against Serbia, with Tom Bischof and Florian Wirtz on the scoresheet. For Liverpool supporters, this has been a week they should have seen. Because even though Andoni Iraola believes the £116 million investment Wirtz will be a very important player for Liverpool, the supporters have yet to see it in the match arena. This is coming.
The patience for the German international to take a leading role in the Premier League is starting to wear thin at Anfield, but if we are to believe the world’s best national team coach and now Champion Klopp, Wirtz is a player who is coming, a player who is made to reach world class.

First to Luis de la Fuente, the coach who has led Spain to titles in the European Championship, Nations League and World Cup. 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.
On Thursday, Jürgen Klopp gave the 23-year-old the biggest recognition, because after the break, Wirtz was awarded the captain’s armband when Serge Gnarby was substituted for the second half.

Wanted by the world’s best national team coach. The captain’s armband awarded from Master Klopp, Wirtz responded to the trust with a goal and a win. Looks like Liverpool fans should be a little patient. Florian Wirtz is coming!
