Florian Wirtz needs just three words to sum up his feelings after being booed

Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz has looked back on a successful international break with Germany through a three-word social media message.

The summer acquisition was given the chance to reunite with his national teammates following an intense examination since his Premier League arrival. He was booed by the home fans during Monday's game against Northern Ireland at Windsor Park in Belfast, but that didn't stop Germany from claiming an important 1-0 victory on the road.

The 22-year-old has failed to register a goal or assist for Liverpool since the Community Shield at the season's commencement, leading to his displays and squad status attracting attention.

Jamie Carragher and Wayne Rooney have both previously analyzed his performances, with the former Liverpool defender proposing the Germany international should be relegated to the substitutes' bench.

Wirtz showed potential during his recent appearance against Chelsea, but his creativity went unrewarded as Arne Slot's side suffered a third successive defeat.

The midfielder participated for the complete 90 minutes in both of Germany's World Cup qualifiers as the team edged closer to confirming its participation at next year's tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The Germans secured maximum points following triumphs over Luxembourg and Northern Ireland.

With a berth at next summer's World Cup almost within reach, Wirtz shared on social media following a promising camp, declaring: "Successful international break."

The German ace is poised to return to Merseyside as Liverpool prepares for the team's encounter with Manchester United on Sunday, eager to find his rhythm after facing criticism regarding his displays.

Premier League pundits have been split on Wirtz's difficulties, yet in Germany, soccer icons and cherished personalities have come to the defence of the ex-Bayer Leverkusen sensation.

Julian Nagelsmann, the national team's head coach, firmly backed his player during the international break.

The former Bayern Munich manager blamed Wirtz's Liverpool colleagues for squandering the opportunities he creates.

"Even though he hasn't scored any goals, he is still the player who creates the most chances in the Premier League," he said. "It's not his fault if his teammates don't convert them, and the statistics don't even tell the whole story.

"Wirtz needs to get used to the league. I saw him playing with total freedom. He knows what he's capable of and how things work.

"He hasn't always had it easy – he'll have to work hard now too."
