👑 More legends than in a museum: Swiss show lifts Wirtz to Germany greats!
👑 More legends than in a museum: Swiss show lifts Wirtz to Germany greats! What on earth was that performance from Florian Wirtz yesterday?! The Liverpool FC superstar practically led the German national team to a 4-3 win over Switzerland all by himself with two goals and two assists.
TV pundit Lothar Matthäus then gave Wirtz “an A+ with a gold star,” while DFB sporting director Rudi Völler called him a “little magician with the ball. ” And teammate Jonathan Tah was full of praise as well: “It’s always fascinating how he just produces magic on the pitch, with how much ease he plays. ” The playmaker himself was clearly delighted with his gala performance.
“I’ve never had four goal contributions in a single game before,” he said happily. But Wirtz is by no means alone in that. Even the very biggest stars in world football rarely manage four goal contributions in one match.
In a Germany shirt, only eleven players have done it since the turn of the millennium. And let’s just put it this way: since last night, Wirtz has been in absolutely elite company! Oliver Bierhoff (2002 against Kuwait) Without question, his greatest hour in a Germany shirt was the Euro 1996 final.
But even six years later, Oliver Bierhoff still had it. In a friendly against Kuwait, the future team manager produced three goals and one assist. Michael Ballack (2004 against Malta) Of course, “Capitano” cannot be left off this list.
