Sergio Aguero Manchester City
Sergio Aguero has shared his perspective on Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz, who has struggled to find his footing in the Premier League this season. Despite making 16 appearances under manager Arne Slot, Wirtz has yet to score and has been in and out of the starting lineup, often rotated with Cody Gakpo. While he has contributed three assists, his inconsistent performances have raised questions about his role at Liverpool.
Sergio Aguero said: “It’s hard to give advice. Players have different personalities and their adaptation times vary. Some adapt quickly and others need more time. But I have no doubt he will settle.”
Aguero continued: “Could Florian Wirtz still leave Liverpool on loan in January? Yeah. Obviously, with all the help and all the protection from the club and the manager, if you bring somebody in for that amount of money, then maybe he should be the one, even though he’s still very young, then maybe you expect him to turn things around.”
Aguero added: “Sometimes when I watch him when he loses possession, I’m thinking maybe it’s because it’s a lot quicker, a lot more physical, as if he were to say; ‘I’m not sure that’s for me’. I hope I’m wrong, but this is how it looks to me. Sometimes if it’s going on for too long, you know, it’s very hard to turn it around.”
Florian Wirtz, despite his challenges, has shown glimpses of his potential with assists in the Champions League and FA Cup. However, his struggle to secure a regular starting spot highlights the competitive nature of Liverpool’s squad. The possibility of a loan move in January could provide him with the necessary playing time to regain confidence and form.
Aguero also touched on Mohamed Salah’s current goal drought. The Egyptian star has scored only five times in 18 appearances this season, a stark contrast to his usual prolific form.
Aguero said: “Never doubt a great goal-scorer. Salah has a fantastic scoring record and I’m confident he’ll regain his form. I believe his performances were impacted by his team’s lacklustre start to the season.”
Salah’s dip in form has coincided with Liverpool’s inconsistent start to the campaign, but Aguero remains optimistic about the forward’s ability to bounce back. With a proven track record, Salah is expected to overcome this challenging period and return to his goal-scoring ways.
As the Premier League season progresses, both Wirtz and Salah will be crucial to Liverpool’s aspirations. With Sky broadcasting up to 215 live Premier League games this season, fans will be keenly watching how these narratives unfold.
