Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has named Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz as the German player he would love to have in his squad, joking that the 23-year-old unfortunately does not have a Spanish passport.
De la Fuente praised Wirtzβs quality and said he βreally likes the way he plays,β offering the Liverpool star some timely recognition amid debate over his inconsistent start at Anfield.
Wirtz has faced criticism since his big-money move, but the World Cup-winning coachβs comments underline the high regard in which the midfielder is still held across Europe.
