Wirtz Disagrees with Van Dijk's Claim That Liverpool Gave Up Against Manchester City

Liverpool's Florian Wirtz has expressed disagreement with captain Virgil van Dijk's assertion that the team gave up during their FA Cup defeat to Manchester City. Following the 4-0 loss, Van Dijk stated that the team perhaps gave up at a certain point, but Wirtz believes this is not the case. According to Wirtz, the team continued to try and create scoring opportunities, even when the game seemed out of reach. Liverpool manager Arne Slot also shared his thoughts, suggesting that while the team may have struggled, he did not see players giving up. The comments come ahead of Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final match against Paris Saint-Germain, a game that Wirtz believes the team can win if they play to their full potential. Wirtz emphasized the importance of the team believing in their manager and in themselves, and he is confident that they can achieve a positive result. However, he also acknowledged that anything less than their best effort will make for a difficult evening.
