Ultimately, Wirtz chose Liverpool and has not had a banner first season at Anfield.
Wirtz has seven goals and 10 assists in 46 games across competitions, but has just never fully hit his stride this season. To Markus Babbel, that should have been expected. “It’s a different league.
I had the same problem when I came to England. It’s a different sport. It’s faster.
