125 million superstars become parallel? Two disaster-level performances are difficult to adapt to the Premier League, Liverpool is helpless

Although Liverpool won both Premier League games in the new season, they tied the first echelon with 6 points. Moreover, with the strong support of new aid Ekitic, the team's forward line has the unique firepower output in two games. But many Liverpool fans are not happy, why do you say so? Because among the new players the team spent huge amounts of money to introduce this summer, the most expensive one performed very mediocrely, and even had the possibility of becoming a parallel player.

Yes, he is Wilz, who joined Liverpool for 125 million euros from Leverkusen this summer. The German midfielder has performed very top performance in the past two seasons, and many fans even regard him and Bellingham as a strong contender for the first midfielder in the future. Players do have a great performance when playing in the Bundesliga, and sometimes they can even produce forward-like data. This is also the key to Liverpool's willingness to sign him for 125 million euros in the summer window. However, the betting king performed very poorly in the first two games of the Premier League.

Wilz started in the first game against Bournemouth. However, although the team defeated the opponent 4:2, Wilz's performance ushered in doubt from the outside world. He performed very poorly in this game, facing the high-intensity midfield encirclement in the Premier League and the confrontation at the front of the penalty area. The players are helpless, and there are often after Werz controls the ball during the game. Just as he was about to organize an offense, the opponent gently hit him, and he was overturned and lost the ball. As soon as he touched it, he became a microcosm of Werz in this game, even though he actively ran with 11.3 kilometers of data ranked first in this game.

However, the players' performance was still criticized by the outside media and fans after the game. I thought that Wiltz was not adapting to the rhythm and intensity of the Premier League in the first game, and he could adapt after adjusting in the second game. However, in the second round of the game against Newcastle, the situation was still very bad. Faced with the high-pressure pressing from Newcastle throughout the game, Wilz still played very well. He played in the starting lineup with only one shot in 82 minutes, lost 19 balls, and his pass success rate was only 77.1%.

For a star in the core position of the midfield, such data is indeed very poor, especially when he is still at a disadvantage in physical confrontation. Many fans found that Wilz was a bit out of place with the current pace of Premier League matches. Objectively speaking, players make few mistakes when handling the ball themselves, which can be called a high level. But once he faces confrontation and interference from his opponent, he seems to struggle extremely. It can be said that as long as the opponent increases the intensity, Wiltz will send the ball out. For a midfield genius with a transfer fee of up to 125 million yuan, this level of performance is like a disaster.

Some careful fans have discovered that Wilz's struggle is exactly the same as Enzo when he first joined Chelsea. At that time, Enzo was also a little uncomfortable in the first half of the season after Benfica entered the Premier League. Although the player has strong offensive talent and accurate handling of the ball, he will deform as soon as he fights against various moves. This even forced the Argentine star to start gaining muscle later in the first season. Now that Wiltz is also in this situation, but he and Enzo are in a different position on the court. Wiltz needs to take on more offensive responsibilities, and his position will be at the forefront of the penalty area line.

Therefore, he pursues technical accuracy and flexibility and cannot blindly increase muscle and improve the intensity of the confrontation, which also casts a shadow on his career at Liverpool. If Wiltz cannot get used to the intensity of the Premier League confrontation in the next season, then there is a high probability that this trade will be lost. Of course, the players themselves are actually working hard to improve the status quo. In the second round of the game against Newcastle, Wilz's performance has improved a little. The players are very active in fighting, and they have always been at the forefront of the team. Perhaps hard work can change his status quo in the future.
