The manager is happy with Florian Wirtz‘s attitude as he returns to full fitness and gaining in confidence, as seen in Wednesday night’s game with Sunderland.
“If you can only have confidence if you score goals, that would be the wrong thing,” he said in Friday’s press conference.
“I think you can see where his confidence is at if you look at the last two games, how many times he wants the ball and how many times his teammates play him the ball. That is something that tells me how much confidence he has at the moment.
“It’s also that he came back with an injury with Germany, so I’m already very happy that he is able to play so many minutes in these first two games after he came back from an injury.
“But he’s done well. Like I said, I wasn’t surprised that he was involved in the goal scored against Sunderland, because he was one of the players – not the only one – who kept constantly trying and was creative.”
