This flo (h) is amazing!
Florian Wirtz (18) rocks the Bundesliga – and in Leverkusen is on the way to becoming the next German superstar (market value: 45 million euros).
The young international met again at the weekend. With his winning goal against Mainz (1-0), he has the next records in the bag.
Goals, duels, kilometers: Wirtz madness in numbers!
★ Top marks! Wirtz overtook Lukas Podolski (36) as the youngest player with 10 Bundesliga goals on Saturday. Poldi was 208 days older at this mark. And: never scored a younger professional in four league games in a row.
★ Effectiveness! Wirtz has 8 goal participations (4 hits, 4 assists) in the league. Because the super flea was still missing at the beginning of the season (adductors) and then only came off the bench, he is the most effective league player. Involved in a goal every 37 minutes.
★ Life insurance! Wirtz has never left the field without a scorer point this season. Even at the start of the Europa League, he scored the winning goal in a 2-1 win against Ferencvaros Budapest.
★ Run miracles! On average, Wirtz runs 12.1 kilometers per 90 Bundesliga minutes. In addition, 46 percent won duels.
★ Second youngest goalscorer in league history! On June 6, 2020, Wirtz scored 2-4 against Bayern – at the age of 17 years and 34 days. Only Youssoufa Moukoko (16 / BVB) was younger when he scored his first goal.
★ Young national players! On September 2, Wirtz made his DFB debut against Liechtenstein (2-0), making him the youngest national player in Bayer’s club history. In the win against Armenia (6-0), he already conjured up (dream template).
Good for Bayer: Wirtz extended his contract until 2026 – without an exit clause.
With that, the Leverkusen-based company has taken out their life insurance …
