Rudi Voller supports Florian Wirtz amid Liverpool adaptation period

Florian Wirtz remains under scrutiny as he adjusts to his role at Liverpool, following his £116m transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. International legend Rudi Voller defended Wirtz, asserting that excessive criticism surrounds the midfielder's performance as he adapts to the Premier League's demands. Wirtz has yet to consistently meet expectations, but those associated with the club maintain belief in his potential. The midfielder looks to regain confidence during the international break, preparing to face Serbia after Germany's recent 1-0 loss to Greece. Liverpool's upcoming fixtures include challenging matches against Manchester City and Arsenal, where Wirtz can potentially impact discussions about his performance.
