Florian Wirtz breaks it

At just 18 years old, Florian Wirtz, an attacking midfielder, is breaking it in the 2021-2022 season. His presentations with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and UEFA Europa League already have him on the map of the entire Old Continent.

The footballer started with SV Grün-Weiß Brauweiler Juvenil in 2010, eight years later he had already signed for FC Köln in their youth categories.

In 2020 Leverkusen paid 200 thousand euros for a footballer who is currently worth 45 million euros.

Juliane Wirtz set the example

Florian's sister, Juliane is two years older and has dictated the path of her colleague. The footballer also started at SV Grün-Weiß Brauweiler and continued with FC Köln.

She arrived at Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2018 and since then she has been one of the fundamental players in the central defense of the team currently coached by Achim Feifel.

“It was difficult to become professional footballers. We have many taboos that do not let us believe that women can achieve important things and in football even more”. Wirtz says about women's soccer.

Germany national team

Florian has seen 16 games in the lower categories of the German National Team. For the senior category, it was in March 2021 that she received her first calls and has already played 3 games.

In the case of Juliane, she has about 20 games with the German National Team, but she has not managed to be taken into account for the higher category, all her interventions have been in lower categories.

Without a doubt, the two natives of Pulheim, both Florian and Juliane Wirtz, are jewels of Bayer Leverkusen.
