Dominik Szoboszlai has hailed German international, Florian Wirtz following his performance against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Match-Day 4, Softfootball reports.
The Reds beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield courtesy a goal by Argentine FIFA World Cup winner, Alexis Mac Allister. The win takes Arne Slot’s men into sixth position with nine points after three wins and a defeat so far in the competition.
In an interview shared by Fabrizio Roman via his official X handle, Hungarian captain Szoboszlai was full of praise for his teammate. He said:
Let me mention Florian Wirtz. What a game!. He just kept on running, kept on winning the balls, running back, having his chances and giving me almost an assist too so sorry from me as well!, told CBS.
Liverpool have endured some poor form in recent times with the team suffering six defeats out of seven matches in all competitions with four consecutive defeats coming in the premier league before a win against Aston Villa stopped the decline in form.
During these periods, Wirtz has been heavily criticised as a very poor signing, considering he joined the Reds for a huge transfer fee from Bundesliga outfit, Bayer Leverkusen. Although, Liverpool fans praised Conor Bradley for caging Vinicius, Wirtz will be happy he got the support of his teammate.
Liverpool will return to action in the premier league on Sunday when they face Manchester City at the Etihad.
