Klopp on Florian Wirtz: “The exchange with Flo was very pleasant. We're keeping in touch from time to time. I think he's the player who covered the most ground at Liverpool this season, so the willingness is absolutely there. We have to move away from expecting to see special moments from him. He needs to help us as a team. We have to make sure that Flo feels comfortable with us.” “When the team works, then every player shines as a consequence. We need to be satisfied when Flo Wirtz plays a game in which he gave everything but didn’t register a goal or assist.” “We simply need to give the boy the feeling: ‘That was more than good enough today. You helped us as a team. We won 1–0 or 2–0.’ - And then all the experts in the world sit there and discuss why he still hasn’t worked out. There are just as many reasons to say: ‘He’s working perfectly well.’ Now let’s take the next steps together.' - that applies for Flo and all the others.”
