Record shopping Florian Wirtz has high goals with his new Liverpool club FC Liverpool. “I can't come here to have fun, I also want to achieve something and give the fans what they earn,” said the soccer player after the announcement of his long-awaited transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to the English champion and emphasized: “I want to win everything every year! I'm really ambitious every year.”
At the same time, Wirtz apologized to the fans “for the long wait”, his change was a real hanging game. After months of speculation, the deal, which has up to 150 million euros, was reported as perfect on Friday evening.
“He showed me scenes how we want to play”
Jeremie Frimpong, who comes from Leverkusen, should help him get used to it. His cabiny bar at Bayer, with whom he was also on vacation, has recently helped him linguistically. “After I finished my school, I didn't speak English really well, but he taught myself a lot and got myself to speak more and better English.”
Wirtz reported that he did not make his decision against the Bundesliga and for the “adventure” Premier League. “I'm a German player, I play for the German national team,” said the twenty -two -year -old, but he wanted to “experience something completely new”.
At FC Liverpool, which he sees under “The first three of the world”, he feels “in the best hands. I was really convinced of the people here, of the idea.” At 0: 4 on the island in the Champions League last November, he experienced the reds professionals as “machines”, now he wants to “improve his own physical level”.
