I read comments from football fans IN Germany saying he was regularly complaining that players were too physical in the Bundesliga, and they were totally bemused to choose to join the Premier League. I hoped at the time they were just bitter Bayern fans, but it's been pretty clear for a while that they had a point.
That shoulder barge he won with their left back before the Mac Allister chance has been my favourite moment of him in a red shirt. It was a sign he's starting to get stuck in and wanting to battle with the opponents, and hopefully, some improved strength. Salah is the prime example of a player who isn't the biggest but has always had enough dedication to his physique and his game to allow him to regularly get the better of his defenders, and Wirtz needs to adopt a similar attitude. There's only so far being blessed with twinkle toes will get you in the Premier League.
