Florian Wirtz and Jurgen Klopp attended a farewell event for Germany's long-time kit partner Adidas on Wednesday, where the Liverpool star made an interesting observation about his current form

Jurgen Klopp could only respond, "Wow", as Florian Wirtz credited his recent upturn in form for Liverpool to the former Reds boss.

Wirtz has seven goal contributions (two goals, five assists) in 15 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season, while he has a further two (one goal, one assist) in three outings for Germany, taking his goal contributions total for the season to nine in 18 appearances, an average of one every two games.

Last season for Liverpool, Wirtz massively struggled to live up to his $155 million price tag, notably failing to register a single goal contribution in his first 16 Premier League appearances, though he eventually ended the campaign with seven goals and 10 assists in all competitions.

After just three months of the current campaign, the 23-year-old is already well on his way to at least equaling that tally, needing just five goals and five assists between now and May.

With a goal and assist in Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, Wirtz is heading into the November international break with a spring in his step, and according to the former Bayer Leverkusen star, it is former Reds boss Klopp who he - and the Anfield faithful - have to thank for his recent upturn in form.

Speaking at a farewell event hosted by the German Football Association (DFB) for long-time kit partner Adidas on Wednesday, ahead of Germany's upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Serbia and the Netherlands, Wirtz was asked if things have gone better for him since Klopp took charge of the national team.

"I've definitely scored more goals and provided more assists," Wirtz responded, per AS. "But maybe the games were also easier..." he joked, prompting Klopp to laugh back and reply simply with, "Wow!"

Wirtz's two goals and five assists this season may look encouraging, but the German international had only recorded just one assist in his first six competitive appearances of the season for the Reds, as he once again struggled to get off the mark.

It was only after his first Germany camp under Klopp in September, when he featured in three of four games, providing a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win against Serbia before captaining the side to a 0-0 draw against Greece, that the Liverpool star began to turn a corner.

After returning to Merseyside at the start of October, Wirtz recorded two goals and four assists in nine games across all competitions for the Reds, displaying a notable change in his play as well as his confidence.

According to Wirtz, this is thanks to Klopp's support, with the 2025 German Footballer of the Year also revealing that the 59-year-old has been helping him at Liverpool by maintaining constant communication.

"We talk a lot. It's great to have a coach who is so genuinely interested in how things are going for us players at our clubs," Wirtz said. "You spend more time at your club, so that's where you need to improve. The coach is very keen to help us with that."

Wirtz will be hoping to bring his impressive recent run of domestic form onto the international stage on Friday (Nov. 13), when Germany travels to face Serbia in their penultimate game in the Nations League group stage.
