Slott: Wirtz might have had six or seven assists, and De Bruyne also had to adapt when he first came to the Premier League.

Liverpool coach Slott said that Wirtz needs to be more patient.

Wiltz transferred to Liverpool this summer for a high price of 116 million pounds, but so far he has neither scored nor assisted in the Premier League or Champions League. Coach Sloter first said: "If you spend so much money to introduce a player, people will only care about the goals and assists data. But I can tell you that he might have had 6 or 7 assists, but he was a bit unlucky. His passing has created opportunities, but his teammates' shots failed to score. For a 22-year-old player who came to the new league, This is normal."

Slott went on to talk about De Bruyne's struggles in the early days of joining the Premier League: "Even one of the best midfielders in history needs time to adapt. The more times he plays, the sooner we can see his best performance."
