Solving the Wirtz Equation
Curtis Jones could be the missing piece in Liverpool’s midfield balance
How Curtis Jones can be the solution to Arne Slot’s Florian Wirtz headache
Florian Wirtz is no stranger to being in the spotlight. He was born to be in it. In Germany, they’ve been writing headlines about him since he was 16 years old.
His move from Cologne to Leverkusen as a teenager caused uproar. It broke an agreement between the two clubs, and it showed Wirtz is not afraid to make bold moves for the betterment of his career.
When he broke records, left, right and centre in the Bundesliga, the spotlight only shone brighter.
His ACL injury illuminated the attention even further. But Wirtz knew how to bounce back and how to defy his doubters.
Liverpool didn’t just sign a super talent, they signed a player with impervious mettle. Able to withstand any pressure and a player who isn’t afraid to make difficult choices.
That’s why the Reds will have no qualms about whether their £100m investment is going to come through.
Nonetheless, there’s no denying, things haven’t been as lofty as they would have expected to begin with.
