World class forward is coming to Liverpool | OneFootball

Wirtz is sensational on international duty

We got a glimpse of Wirtz’s quality over the international break when the Nationalmannschaft played two games - against Switzerland and Ghana.

Although Wirtz was a little subdued against Ghana on Monday he stamped his talent all over the game against the Swiss in Basel. Wirtz scored two unbelievable goals and assisted two more as Julian Nagelsmann’s side ran out 4-3 winners in a pulsating friendly.

It sets Wirtz up as the four-time World Cup winners’ great hope heading into the summer tournament in North America. And it’s the kind of display Arne Slot needs to be watching in order to formulate the best possible plan for the £116m investment.

Liverpool have got Wirtz coming back in world-class form

“Especially in the international match in Basel, Wirtz demonstrated just how valuable he is to the German national team,” a report in Kicker reads.

“With two magnificent goals and two assists, the Liverpool FC forward, who had a difficult first half of the season at his club, was the man of the match in the 4-3 victory.

“Unstoppable for the opposition, always available for his teammates. A brilliant performance that showed: Wirtz embodies world-class talent like no other player currently in Julian Nagelsmann's squad.”
