Nagelsmann made these comments before Germany's World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on Thursday. He praised Wirtz as a key player for Germany and acknowledged that the young midfielder has not been as dominant as expected in his new team.

Nagelsmann explained that Wirtz needs time to adjust to his new environment, which includes a new culture, league, and stadium. He added that it is normal for players to take time to settle in a new team.

Nagelsmann is confident that Wirtz will play great games for Liverpool and score and assist goals. He even jokingly suggested that Wirtz could start doing so immediately with the German national team.

The Premier League has attracted several high-profile players from the Bundesliga this summer, including Wirtz, who joined Liverpool for a reported 125 million euros plus bonuses. Germany captain Joshua Kimmich, who is one of Bayern Munich's top earners, commented on the situation, saying that players are torn between staying in the Bundesliga and joining the Premier League.

Kimmich noted that the Premier League's financial resources, including TV money and wealthy owners, make it an attractive option for top players. He joked that the English clubs seem to have an endless supply of money.

Nagelsmann's comments provide a positive assessment of Wirtz's future with Liverpool, despite his slow start to the season.
