Former Liverpool midfielder Hamann talked about Wirtz when he participated in the show this week. The latter provided two assists in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt.

When asked whether Wirtz could perform at Liverpool's level, Hamann said: "Well, there is no absolute guarantee. I often say that Veron came to the Premier League about 20 years ago, but only stayed for one season. When he came, he was called the best midfielder, but no one could Guaranteed that things will go well. However, I don't think Wirtz will fail, because his performance in Leverkusen is obvious to all, and he leads the team to win the league championship and cup championship. Obviously, the high transfer fee puts a lot of pressure on him. This Champions League game can be a turning point for him. "

"The only thing I want to say is that the pace of the Champions League is not as fast and intense as the Premier League, and the confrontation is not as strong. Wirtz must also perform like this in the Premier League. He hasn't done it yet, but he has shown some signs of it. It's going to be a tough Premier League game on Saturday, I watched Brentford play against an out-of-form West Ham United on Monday night and the performance from Brentford was impressive. Hopefully Wirtz can continue his good form on Saturday. "
