Wertz joined Liverpool from Leverkusen this summer. Former German star Nowotny expressed his views on his future development prospects.
Nowotny said: "When Alonso took over Leverkusen, he realized that the team's style of play could be built around Wirtz. They didn't have to rely solely on counterattacks, but could also control the game and find small gaps, because Wirtz was very good at finding space, receiving the ball in small spaces, and passing the ball quickly."
"Wiltz makes the game easy and he is a key player in Leverkusen's historic Double in 2023-24."
"Liverpool's style also suits him, quick transitions, running behind, but also being able to control the ball, press high and find gaps. The best players can adapt to various systems, and Si Lott now has one of the brightest young players in world football. "
" Wirtz may need time to get back to his best form, but it also depends on whether his teammates can quickly adapt to his way of thinking. He works very hard without the ball, is a pressing machine, and has excellent interception ability. "
"He is one of the best players I have ever seen, down-to-earth, passionate about football and eager to learn. I truly believe that the club he is at now can take him to the next level. "
"One day he can win the Ballon d'Or and joining Liverpool will help him achieve that. "
