💶Plan to spend 135 million euros to buy Wilz, Liverpool s ambition is to win consecutive Premier League championships😤

As the team owner, Fenway is indeed not a big money man. However, over the past few years, they have never delayed the team building on the road to careful calculations. Willing to take action when it is time to take action is also the reason why Liverpool returns to the top ranks.

However, this summer window, Fenway's movements were a bit big. After officially announcing that the right-wing Flynnon was going to buy the left-wing strong support Korkoz, which was even more surprising, that he spent 135 million euros to buy Wilz. After Manchester City became weaker, Liverpool wanted to dominate the Premier League.

01.  Werz came to Liverpool: It has a lot to do with Adidas

a.        Werz before serious injury: once scored 1 goal every 37 minutes

Werz was born on May 3, 2003. He made his Bundesliga debut when he was only 17 years and 15 days old, breaking the youngest appearance record in team history set by Havertz.

In the 2021-22 season, Werz, who was only 18 years old at the time, created magical data that brought one goal every 37 minutes at the beginning of the season, and once ranked first in the five major leagues.

At that time, many European giant teams began to pay attention to this young genius, while Wirtz publicly stated that he was a Messi fan and liked to watch Barcelona games.

It was in that season, on March 14, 2022, Wilz was unlucky to have an ACL torn in his left knee. He had been on standby for 10 months and missed the 2022 World Cup.

Fortunately, he did not sink because of this. After more than half a year of adaptation after his comeback, he became the hero of Leverkusen's victory in the Bundesliga championship last season, proving that he is still the genius. This season, he won the post-match best five times and ranked first.

b.      Wiltz chose to come to Liverpool: Adidas has a certain impact

This time, Wiltz chose one of three from Bayern, Manchester City and Liverpool, and finally chose to come to Anfield, which has a considerable relationship with Adidas.

Liverpool's original sponsor was Nike, with an annual income of £30 million, and 20% of the net sales of goods as royalties. The theoretical overall income was originally expected to exceed £60 million, but due to the impact of the epidemic, it has not been able to truly meet the standards.

Starting this season, Liverpool's sponsor will be replaced with Adidas, and the new sponsorship agreement will bring £65 million to £70 million in revenue to Slot's team each year. It is also because of this that Liverpool can spend a lot of money to buy Wilts. There are two statements about the total amount of Liverpool transfer this time. German media believes it is 150 million euros, but 135 million euros are the fixed part. In addition, there are floating terms related to attendance rates, as well as trigger rewards for linking important championships. The British media insisted that the total price was 135 million euros, and it is not possible to judge which statement is more accurate at present.

So it is a bit ahead of the way to put Werz transfer fee in the third place in history, but there should be no doubt that it is higher than Felix's 126 million euros.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Adidas and Wilz also have a contract, and there is a special clause. It is Adidas that partly puts the club from A to D, and the original Leverkusen was C-level. If Wilz joins the A-level team, he will get more income (paid by Adidas).

This is probably why Manchester City withdrew from the competition early and Liverpool, who received the new Adidas contract, became Wilz's final choice. From the sponsor's perspective, it seems to be a natural thing.

02.  Characteristics of Wiltz: The ultimate space user

a.      The biggest feature of Wiltz: insight into space and movement

The characteristics of Wiltz are strong running ability, large stadium coverage, and good at insight into space, knowing how to use space and run to empty space. In contrast, he prefers to go to the left-side rib to catch the ball.

This is a player who is "very good at playing football". If the opponent gives him a chance, Wilz will seize it. However, once the space is locked, the role of Wilz is often greatly reduced. He is not a "defense weapon", but he can become a goal scorer who breaks the deadlock.

Wilz fully demonstrated his talent in positioning in this wave of offense. When the midfield was advancing, his teammates hit the wall to cooperate, and he had been waiting in the open position.

Then the ball was passed to Grimaldo, and then he stepped forward to catch the ball in the penalty area. The last shot is strong in the frequency of action under the feet. He has never been to anyone, but he can score by getting rid of his movements quickly and shooting.

The same is true in the UEFA semi-finals. This time, after getting the ball in the ribs, Werz wanted to pass the ball to his teammates but failed.

It should be said that Wilz's offensive operations in the ribs are still relatively space-dependent. If the opponent tightens, the threat of his ball and passing is not that great.

However, after the first wave of pass failed, Werz then grabbed the moment when the Portuguese defender was slacking off, suddenly stepped forward without the ball, received a wonderful pass from Kimmich, and then headed the ball.

Wilz is good at such unball movements, opponents miss people, and teammates make wonderful passes, so he can seize the opportunity in an instant.

b.     Wiltz's shot: unique

In the past two seasons, Wiltz has contributed 34 goals and 33 assists to Leverkusen. This data cannot be said to be particularly dazzling, nor is it bad.

The ability to hand over a double-double report card of about 15+15 each season proves the talent of this young man.

As mentioned earlier, Wilz has a good sense of running. This time, Leverkusen launched a counterattack, and Flynnon advanced at the high speed. Wilz found an opportunity in the top of the arc in the middle, and then used a stable push shot to send the ball into the bottom of the net.

Wilz's push shot stability is still good, and at the same time, he can produce very high-quality world waves when there are free spaces.

But when under pressure, Werz's shot slipped relatively quickly, and it is very important for him to have room.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called pressure does not mean that Werz has poor ball control ability, and his movements to get rid of his feet are very fast. If the opponent does not entangle him and sticks his body on it, then Wiltz will easily get rid of it.

In addition, both feet can shoot, so Werz is not easy to defend by relying on individual soldiers. He needs a certain system to defend, so he can lock the space he gets out of, making Werz lose the threat.

03.  Werz's performance is unstable when under pressure: he still needs to improve when fighting tough battles

a.     trumpet de Bruyne? The physical fitness is still not good enough

Manchester City had a crush on Wilz before, and they probably hoped that he could take over Bruyne. From the statistical comparison, we can see that Wilz is still far from De Bruyne in terms of defense, shooting and passing threats.

His advantages are the movement of the ball and the receiving rate, so he has the advantage in terms of the expected number of goals (also indicating that the shots are worse than De Bruyne), the opponent's penalty area and the offensive three-zone catch and get the ball. In the UEFA Europa League semi-finals with Portugal, when the team was 1-2 behind, Wiltz still did less. Especially when the opponent strengthens the confrontation in the middle, Wilz can escape and rob, but it is difficult to truly break through the defense.

When he encounters pressing, he will dribble the ball to the side. Wirtz's cross-legged footwork is good, but this kind of kicking is not efficient after all.

This time is also very typical. Teammates took the ball from the wing to attack, and Wirtz quickly ran to the penalty area to respond. The problem is that the opponent is very focused, and the Portuguese central defender Innacio moved sideways in time.

Wilz did not get the space he wanted after receiving the ball, but his direct cross was blocked. If Liverpool's offense wants to revolve around Wilz's team building, there will be some problems. It is that if the space cannot be created and can only rely on its ability to run, its physical strength is not superior, and its technology is not as good as that, it will be more difficult.

Including this time, Werz took the ball after retracement, but faced the defender who was robbed. Although he did not concede the ball, it was difficult to control the ball.

The distance between becoming a superstar, Wiltz is still a little physically poor, which is also a big problem for him.

b.     Wiltz's pass: There is still room for improvement

Compared with foot skills, Wiltz's footwork talent is higher. He is of high quality to send wonderful passes in open spaces. In his fast offensive pass cooperation, he can also use some beautiful balls to bring opportunities to his teammates.

Plus he has a good crossing after pulling the side. Compared to shooting in a tough battle, Wilz can try more to run and pass the ball.

Just like this time, the quality of the cross was very high, I found my center teammate Hick and completed the header.

However, there is no center in Liverpool's team, and other people's headers are not very good except Jota, which will be a problem.

On the other hand, Wilz's straight pass is of good quality, which may bring surprises to Liverpool. After all, with Liverpool's overall offensive and defensive rhythm, the probability of running out is still very high.

Especially Liverpool's midfielder is good at forward-stripping. Wiltz can not only use the space created by his teammates to score goals by himself, but also use assists to give back to his teammates.

For Wilz, there is another good news that he did not come to the strange Premier League and Liverpool alone, and he also joined the team with his former teammate Flynn Penn.

Liverpool is generally younger, and Wiltz is also regarded as the team's new front line flag after Salah. Liverpool will give him enough resources to help Wiltz succeed.

Conclusion:

Last season, Salah was the one who grabbed the open space to harvest the pass and shot data. Perhaps this resource will be transferred to Wilz in the future. However, Salah has only renewed his contract with Liverpool. In the next season, how to allocate resources will be a difficult problem.

After all, Wilz is a system-dependent attacker and is not good at individual soldiers. Whether he can succeed depends on Slott's tactical system and whether he can provide him with enough support.
