For Wirtz, however, this might also be possible with Cody Gakpo or Diogo Jota at his side. Both came in the past playing time like Díaz both on the left and in the storm center on their minutes, whereby the Dutch rather worked the wing, the Portuguese again acted more in the forefront. With Darwin Núñez, FC Liverpool also has a real shock striker under contract, which Wirtz could feed with templates from left. The Uruguayer is also considered a potential change candidate, could leave the club promptly.
Either way, the quality of the Liverpool offensive department will be extremely high in the coming season – also or maybe even because of Florian Wirtz. Maybe this will also be found on the bench over the course of the season. FC Liverpool completed a whopping 56 games last season, another six more than Bayer Leverkusen.
2021/2022, at that time under Jürgen Klopp, the English even started 63 games within a round. A rhythm that leaves little time to regenerate the professionals, especially since many of them also appear for their national teams. Arne Slot will have to adjust his starting eleven accordingly – and also treat Florian Wirtz star shopping a break every now and then.
