After the team defeated Luxembourg 4-0 in the World Cup qualifiers, the German team coach Nagelsmann was interviewed and talked about the performance of Wirtz and Waltermade.
How to evaluate Wirtz’s performance in this game? Does he look a little unlucky?
No, he did a great job, he got the ball a lot and made a lot of attempts.
Is Walter Mader restricted by Luxembourg’s iron barrel array?
This game is very difficult for all forwards. The opponent's numerical advantage (defensively) does them no favors because the space becomes smaller. Nick just had to keep hanging on.
What do you think of these two players' contrasting performances in the English league?
The thing about Wirtz is that even if he doesn't score, he is the player who creates the most chances in the Premier League. If his teammates fail to take advantage of their chances, it's not his fault, so the statistics aren't even a third of the truth.
In addition, Wirtz must adapt to this league. I saw him completely letting go and kicking. He knows his abilities and how things should go. Success is not always easy to come by, and he will continue to work hard now. He will look to improve on his 0 goals and 0 assists in Liverpool's seven league games.
In contrast, Walter Mader has scored frequently at Newcastle United recently, so I'm sure he will score goals here too.
Are you worried that Walter Mader has not scored a goal in five games for the national team?
We don’t have to get caught up in the fast pace of this industry and criticize immediately.
