5 key passes in the game! Slott activated Wirtz, he looked like a peak Ku bird

In the Champions League showdown between Liverpool and Real Madrid, Arnold has become the focus of all headlines. Indeed, the game was billed as Trent Alexander-Arnold's Champions League night back at Anfield, but the former Reds prodigy and now Real Madrid star only came on as a late substitute.

The resurgent team under Slott, after defeating Aston Villa 2-0, the whole team worked together to help the Red Army achieve this unforgettable 1-0 victory on the Champions League stage. After the game, captain Van Dijk was eager to downplay Trent as the center of the topic. When asked if he would talk to the right back, he only responded with one word: "No."

Now, Liverpool's lineup has changed drastically. In the summer window, high-priced new players such as Wirtz, Isaac and Ekitic were introduced. They urgently need to prove themselves in front of the fans. In this Champions League match against Real Madrid, Wirtz's performance was eye-catching. Slaughter placed him in the left winger position, and his performance reminded people of the former Red Army genius midfielder Coutinho.

Coutinho was once the core of Liverpool's midfield. In his final season with the Red Army, the Brazilian scored five goals in five Champions League games. During Coutinho's Anfield career, the No. 10 player was often moved to the left wing. This usage habit has been successful. Of Coutinho's 54 goals in Liverpool's career, 37 came from the left wing.

Wiltz performed very much like Coutinho against Real Madrid. The German genius, criticized by fans as a "parallel import", showed both skill and courage on the left wing, ensuring the team's 1-0 victory. Only eight of his 197 games for Leverkusen came on the left wing, but he looked a natural fit for the position against Real Madrid, finishing with a game-high five key passes and making his only tackle.

Although Wirtz has not yet found his best form, he has begun to play an role in the left winger position. And in poor condition, Wirtz also knows how to help the team. According to statistics, Wirtz ran 11.37 kilometers when facing Real Madrid. This professional attitude satisfied many Red Army fans.

In an ideal world, Wirtz hopes to play the No. 10 position in Liverpool. However, Liverpool's "Mai 8 He" midfield combination has a tacit understanding, and coupled with Szoboszlai's outstanding form this season, Wirtz is likely to be able to play games on the left wing for some time to come. For Wirtz, he can take a look at how Coutinho played at Liverpool? Even as a temporary left winger, Wirtz is still capable of helping the team.
