The most expensive rookie in Premier League history is Florian Wirtz that played faintly in Liverpool's 4-2 victory over Bournemouth in the opening round.
In the first match in the Premier League when Liverpool won Bournemouth with a score of 4-2, Florian Wirtz was arranged as an attacking midfielder to support the Hugo Ekitike. With a huge transfer fee, the German player naturally received great expectations.
Liverpool fans hope Wirtz will have a booming debut when playing at Anfield's home field. However, he did not leave any significant mark and was replaced.
Statistics showed that Wirtz had a very disappointing match when 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 shot to win the target, 3 passes to create opportunities, only 3/10 times to win a dispute, to lose the ball 19 times (the highest on the pitch) are statistics on the 82 -minute performance of the former Leverkusen star. Wirtz's only positive point is that he moves the most distance (11.3 km).
According to Sofascore, Wirtz is only marked 6.2 points, while 3 teammates in attack including Ekitike, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo receive points 8 or higher.
A more notable detail is when Wirtz left the field, the player chosen on his behalf is Federico Chiesa immediately shining to help Liverpool win 3 points. With what has shown, Chiesa can completely kick in Liverpool if they continue to make a mark in the near future.
Witnessing the expression not as expected of Wirtz, many fans criticized the former Leverkusen player
- Did Wirtz know what is the Premier League?
- Liverpool won but Wirtz again..thua
- Wirtz thinks that it is the best itself in the world but to lose the ball too easily
- Certainly Slot and Wirtz will have to work together more. In the Premier League, you don't have time to think about how to do
- Wirtz may be a bit overwhelmed but he will come back soon
