How Florian Wirtz is kickstarting his Liverpool career and the special programme club physios have put £116m man on to adapt to English football after starring role in Wolves win
Liverpool fans, therefore, might have been wondering when their own new attacking midfielder would start to trouble the scorers with some goal involvements. In beating Wolves, £116million Florian Wirtz showed that whatever Cherki can do, he can do too. The 22-year-old has been on a special programme to bulk up to the intensity of English football with Wirtz putting on around two kilograms. Arsenal fans sing ‘set piece again, ole ole’ – maybe the Kop should start chanting ‘set piece again, oh no, oh no’. It was a first Premier League start in a meaningful game for Federico Chiesa – his only previous one was down at Brighton last season when the league title was already won.
