In the first round of the UEFA Champions League match played in the early morning of September 20, Beijing time, Leverkusen beat Feyenoord 4-0 away from home, in which the outstanding performance of the young midfielder Wiltz is particularly notable. After the match, Bayern Munich star Hargreaves, in an interview with TNT Sports, spoke highly of Wiltz as the kind of player who can significantly improve the strength of any team.
Hargreaves was full of praise for Wiltz's goal-scoring and assisting abilities, singling out his incredible stats from last season that showed his exceptional contribution to the game. He emphasized that Wiltz is not only technically brilliant, but also possesses a talent that is tailor-made for the German national team and FC Leverkusen, as if he was born for those arenas.
Although Wiltz currently plays primarily as a No. 10, Hargreaves believes he has the ability to control the tempo of the game, reminiscent of another midfield maestro, Kroos. Hargreaves points out that Kroos' role at Real Madrid has gradually moved back from his initial role as a No. 10 to become the team's midfield commander, and Wiltz has the same potential.
Regarding Wiltz's future, Hargreaves said he has a wide range of options and suggested he could consider joining a top club like Manchester City or Real Madrid. At the same time, he also believes that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be interested in Wiltz, as the addition of Wiltz will undoubtedly strengthen Arsenal's midfield.
Hargreaves further emphasized that Wiltz's intelligence and all-round ability would make any team build a tactical system around him after signing him. Wiltz himself knows his own value, and will choose the club that best suits his development and continue to write his own brilliant chapter.
