Da jeg er tysker, ville jeg elske at se Florian Wirtz i Premier League. I stedet for i en anden klub i Bundesligaen.

The impression Arne Slot left on Florian Wirtz was unlike anything he had experienced before. Throughout multiple Zoom meetings, Slot presented a clear and detailed vision, supported by extensive video material that even traced Wirtz’s development back to his early youth. He highlighted the progress Wirtz had already made, pointed out areas for further improvement, and laid out a well-structured plan for how he would be integrated into the team.

What resonated most was the tactical clarity. Wirtz was shown a defined role within a functioning system, giving him a strong sense of direction and purpose. The entire presentations, which were many, were described as highly professional and deeply thoughtful.

In contrast, the conversations he had with Vincent Kompany were said to be vague and left many questions unanswered. There was no clearly communicated role, no coherent system, and little tactical structure. The overall impression was that of uncertainty, which reportedly left Wirtz feeling confused and unimpressed.

That was one of the key reasons why he chose Liverpool over Bayern.
