The Germans are furious after Liverpool “destroy” Florian Wirtz. Julian Nagelsmann stated earlier this autumn that the Liverpool players did not do their job, it was they who failed to take advantage of Wirtz’s footballing brilliant passes that deserve assists status. Bayern boss Uli Hoeness believes Liverpool have simply deceived the 22-year-old. On Wednesday, Wirtz finally scored his first Premier League goal, but even this was not accredited to the German international.
18 games without scoring. The glaring statistics shine on Wirtz every time he checks the stats. Against Sunderland, Wirtz thought he was responsible for the equaliser when Liverpool drew 1-1 with Sunderland in the Premier League on Wednesday. The goal was later decided as an own goal by Nordi Mukiele.

You don’t have to like Wirtz as a player to treat the 22-year-old to this goal to break the “curse” on the ball island.
Wirtz plays it all down, but for a player with a price tag of up to 125 million euros, which is measured by his surroundings solely on goals, then assists, this probably stings.
-It doesn’t matter. We drew and we wanted to win. That’s what matters. The last few weeks have been difficult for us, but we are on the right track and we are doing everything we can,” Wirtz told Sky Sports after the game.
