Speaking to the media, Slot defended his player. "He gets better and better every game," Slot said, acknowledging that Wirtz's constant desire to be on the ball is a key strength, even when he has moments where he could perform better.
"We don't have to teach him how to play football," Slot continued. "He just has to adapt to Premier League intensity." The manager's comments reflect a belief that Wirtz's immense talent is undeniable and that his full potential will be unleashed once he fully adjusts to the physical demands of English football.
