When he was a guest on Ferdinand's podcast a few days ago, former Premier League player Berbatov talked about Wirtz, who is currently struggling in Liverpool. He believed that the German midfielder still needs more patience and believed that he has excellent vision and game reading ability.

Liverpool paid more than 100 million euros for Wirtz this summer, but he has only contributed 3 assists in 13 appearances and has not scored a goal. His poor performance continued in the team's 2-3 loss to Brentford last weekend.

Berbatov moved to Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2006, and he also experienced a difficult adaptation process. Therefore, he supported Wirtz: "I like him a lot. He is a very good player. He will be unbelievable, believe me. I hope he can be patient and hope that he has good people around him to support him - agent, family, whoever it is." Team. I guarantee you that he will succeed."

In Berbatov's view, Wirtz is a rare talent and compared it with Modric: "The way Wirtz looks at football, how he finds space, how he chooses his position, his touch, improvisation, passing and scoring insights, these are all outstanding."

"Of course, some people may think that his body is excellent. The conditions are not suitable for the Premier League, but you look at the great players who play the same position, such as Modric, they have the same physique. Modric, he is a monster, so I think he will become an incredible player in Liverpool."

Berbatov also looked back on his experience and compared it with Wirtz's current situation. I went through the same process when I went to Leverkusen. It wasn't smooth at the beginning, and I needed to be patient. It was a new environment, new people, new language, new everything. Things were slow again. I even thought that maybe I should go back.

But when I thought about it, my other side - not the personality, but the other side of me - told me: 'No, no, no. You look at what happened at Leverkusen. be patient. Keep up the good work. You have the strength and you deserve to be here. You wanted a change and now you're here. Now be stubborn, be patient, and keep trying. Don't sit back and wait, success won't just fall into your lap. Be smart or work hard. Know when and how to do it, and then do it. It will happen. '

Berbatov said: "People want to go back to a place and a safe environment where you feel safe, but you must also have enough motivation and ambition to overcome fear. So, my ambition is stronger than my fear."
