“Rotzig” is the word Florian Wirtz, the most expensive transfer in the history over Liverpool and the entirety of British football, has used to describe himself. In typical German fashion, there is no exact English translation. It’s somewhere between “cheeky” and “arrogant.” “Brazen”, if not almost “cocky.”
This sense of confidence with an edge perfectly captures Wirtz’s approach on and off the pitch. Whether it’s the type of pass he should deploy or the club he should join, he has always known what he wants.
