As a seasoned sports analyst with over a decade of experience in football and basketball, I break down why placing 20-year-old midfielder Florian Wirtz at the heart of Liverpool’s strategy is a tactical miscalculation. Drawing from real-world performance data, I argue that despite his hype, Wirtz lacks composure under pressure—unlike Álvaro Fernández (Alvarés), who has proven himself in elite tournaments. This isn’t just opinion—it’s analysis backed by statistics. For fans seeking clarity on transfer decisions and squad balance, this insight offers a much-needed reality check.
