‘That Was Rubbish’ — Florian Wirtz Had The Perfect Response As Bayern Make Bizarre Liverpool Accusation
Florian Wirtz has found himself at the centre of an unexpected controversy after Bayern Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeness launched a public criticism involving Liverpool and their manager Arne Slot. The Bayern chief dismissed alleged promises made to Wirtz as “rubbish,” sparking widespread debate across European football. The comments were first highlighted by Empire of the Kop.
Hoeness claimed that Wirtz had been told Liverpool would be built around him — including receiving a central role and iconic squad status — only for reality to look very different. Many fans and pundits labelled the accusation bizarre, particularly given Wirtz’s ongoing adaptation to the Premier League.
Rather than escalating the situation, Wirtz reportedly responded with calm professionalism. According to a report from Yahoo Sports, the German international dismissed the claims internally and remained focused on his performances on the pitch.
Since arriving at Anfield in a blockbuster move from Bayer Leverkusen, Wirtz has shown flashes of brilliance while adjusting to a new league and tactical system under Arne Slot. Analysis from Goal.com suggests patience will be key as Liverpool continue their rebuild.
Some observers believe Bayern’s public criticism may stem from frustration after missing out on signing Wirtz themselves. Bayern’s failed pursuit has been well documented, including reports by Goal.
Ultimately, Wirtz’s composed response has earned praise from fans and neutrals alike. In an era where off-field drama often dominates headlines, the young midfielder has shown maturity by letting his football — not words — define his Liverpool journey.
