Sky Sports reporter Sebastian Hermann conducted an exclusive interview with Florian Werz. The Liverpool new player star talked about his high transfer fees, the difference between the Premier League and his style in the Bundesliga, and the strength of the Reds.
Regarding the transfer fee of over €125 million and how much it puts pressure on him
"This is the case. People are not used to spending so much money in Liverpool. They haven't done this in the past few years, and this summer they did it. It is certainly unusual for a player to spend so much, and everyone knows it. But the market is the case at the moment. The coach told me that in the team, there is no need to feel pressure on your transfer fee, because everyone around them may be worth about the same if they play football in another team. "
Regarding his current performance on the court and the difference from his style in the Bundesliga,
"Yes, it may be that I try to get the ball faster. I talked to the coach a few days ago and he made a guess that I may not have fully entered the game I usually can enter - that is, to speed up the game by dribbling or passing. He thinks that the reason may be that we press a lot at a high position and I run a lot. For example, running statistics: I have always been in the top ranking because I also try to devote myself to the coach's requirements. This requires me to consume A lot of physical strength and energy. So when I get the ball, I may be missing something. It takes step by step, and by playing more games, my physical condition becomes better, and then it will be easier to handle the ball, and when I get the ball, I will also have enough physical fitness and recovery to exert force. "
About when I can see 100% Florian Wilz
"It's hard to say. I'm also curious, but it may take a while to really settle down in one place, adapt to life, and be familiar with everything, and I allow myself to have this time. I just hope That moment will come sooner or later, and then I will feel really comfortable, at ease, and ready to go all out. "
About the strength of the current Liverpool squad
"I don't want to belittle anyone, but the level here is really a step higher. Everyone here has to fight for their position, go all out and strive to be better than their competitors. I also have to work as hard as everyone else to get a starting position or be one of the best players. You can feel that there are multiple very, very good players in every position here. "
