Bayer Leverkusen boss, Kasper Hjulmand, has expressed confidence that Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz will soon make a strong impact at Anfield despite a slow start to life in England.
The German international, who joined Liverpool this summer, is yet to record a goal or assist for the club.
However, Hjulmand believes it’s only a matter of time before the youngster silences his critics.
Speaking with Sport Bild, the Danish manager said, “Come on, he’s only just arrived there. Believe me, he’ll prove himself to everyone. Even the experts in England. I’m sure of it.
“Show me the player who can perform at his best from day one in a new club and a new league. It’s impossible. Florian is a fantastic footballer with outstanding qualities.
“We all know how fast-paced everything is in football: if he scores two great goals in the next two games, people will say, ‘Now he’s arrived.’ That will be just as wrong as the recent criticism.
“Give him time, let him play and everyone in Liverpool will see how good he is. I have no doubt that he will prove himself.”
