Florian Wirtz has been the lighthouse of a Bayer Leverkusen team that is, for many, the revelation team of European football. The German is already highly regarded in his home country and, despite his young age, his personality and the arrival of Xabi Alonso on the bench are turning Wirtz from a promising player into a reality.
The 20-year-old midfielder is already making a name for himself in the German national team and is making a difference every weekend in domestic competition.
After a long injury and the arrival of Xabi Alonso in charge, Wirtz hasn’t only returned to his best form, but he has been able to bring his talent to the fore even more.
Florian Wirtz is already the Bundesliga‘s most prolific passer of the ball and combines the role of shooter and playmaker for his team, in the case of the latter role, very much supported by Alejandro Grimaldo.
The young German has already scored five goals and dished out eight assists in the Bundesliga, proving that he is improving in the final metres and that he is decisive when it comes to passing, displaying fantastic accuracy in the decisive metres.
Wirtz is one of the players who has been making the most progress for his team in Europe’s elite and, in addition to his good reading of the game between the lines, he also possesses a great ability to eliminate opponents through dribbling, especially in tight spaces.
Clearly, this isn’t just any player. In the Bundesliga, he is already being compared to profiles such as Musiala or Xavi Simons, and there are more than a few who see him as one of the best U-21 players in Europe. Florian has already been linked with moves to Barça, Liverpool and Bayern, and there is every indication that he will play for whichever team Xabi Alonso leaves for.
For the time being, Wirtz has performed well on all the big stages he has been on and has proven to be an important player.
He will most likely play for another team next season, but Florian Wirtz is definitely a big deal.
