Liverpool's new signing Wirtz has so far failed to fully prove his worth in the Premier League. The German international's transfer fee of more than 120 million euros has caused doubts in England, but Hamann is not worried about the former Bayer Leverkusen player, and also admitted that it is difficult for him to make a breakthrough in the short term.

Differences in Premier League styles

"England's game style is completely different - more emphasis on physical confrontation, faster pace, and looser referee whistles." Hamann explained to "Kicker" why the new Liverpool player has not yet adapted to the Premier League. "Therefore, the adaptation period for offensive players is longer than that for defensive players." The 22-year-old Wirtz has not yet contributed a goal or assist in England's top league.

Tactical role imbalance

Hamann pointed out that the biggest problem with this attacker is: "He tries to use brute force to reverse the situation, and all defensive tasks are completed at full speed. He wants to prove himself too much and wants to do everything for the team. "

Transformation pressure Approaching

Although Hamann is not worried that Wirtz will not be able to gain a foothold at Anfield, he still warned: "I always think that Wirtz is good enough and can eventually make a name for himself in the Premier League. But there are no absolutes in the football world. He urgently needs a sense of achievement and must start affecting the game with his offensive performance as soon as possible." "

It is difficult to see a turnaround in the short term

As for when this genius with a transfer fee of over 120 million euros will break out, the 52-year-old Hamann is not optimistic: "I can't see the situation getting better in the next two to four weeks. Although he performed well against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, the intensity of the European war is not the same as that of the Premier League. The Premier League is his main battlefield, and I hope he will not lose his confidence because of this. "

The ownership of responsibility is clear

The famous player emphasized: Liverpool suffered multiple setbacks in losing points in the league and Champions League at the beginning of the season, and the crux of the problem was not caused by Wirtz.
