Florian Wirtz reveals what Jürgen Klopp told him at fulltime after Germany’s 3-1 victory over Serbia

🎙️ Interviewer: “Florian, Germany have won 3-1 away from home, and you got yourself on the scoresheet. What did Jürgen Klopp say to you after the final whistle?

Wirtz: “He came straight over, gave me a big hug and told me, ‘That’s the Florian I know. Never stop believing in yourself, keep enjoying your football and never forget how special you are.’ Honestly, hearing those words from him means a lot.”

Interviewer: “How important has Klopp been to your confidence, especially during the difficult periods?

Wirtz: “Very important. He understands me as a player and as a person. He doesn’t just talk about football; he wants to know how you’re feeling. When things aren’t going well, he reminds you of your qualities instead of allowing you to doubt yourself. That makes a huge difference.”

Interviewer: “Did scoring tonight make the moment even more special?

Wirtz: “Of course! I love scoring for Germany, and winning away from home makes it even better. But what I love most is seeing the coach smile after the game. You know how much football means to him. When he’s happy, everybody feels it.”

Interviewer: “Do you feel you’re rediscovering your best football under Klopp?

Wirtz: “I’m enjoying myself again. I’m playing with confidence, taking responsibility and expressing myself. I still have so much to improve, but having someone like Jürgen believing in you gives you incredible motivation.”

Wirtz added: “He gave Liverpool supporters so many beautiful memories, and I’ll always respect what he did there. Now he’s helping me create new memories with Germany. I hope we can achieve something special together. He deserves it, and so do these supporters.”
