Uli Hoeneß criticises Liverpool's use of Florian Wirtz

At Anfield Stadium, where the red-and-white stands listen to every pass, the young German national team player Florian Wirtz is in the spotlight. After he moved in the summer of 2025 from Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Bundesliga to Liverpool in the Premier League, his usage in recent weeks has increasingly come under criticism.

Uli Hoeneß has now voiced his opinion on the matter and accused the English of not deploying Wirtz optimally, preventing him from reaching his full performance potential.
