[Saba Sports News] In the recent Bundesliga match
where Bayer Leverkusen triumphed over Freiburg with a 3-2 victory, Florian
Wirtz, the team’s star player, scored a crucial goal. During a post-match
interview, Wirtz touched upon a topic unrelated to the game. When asked if any
relatives had attended the match, Wirtz confirmed that his parents were
present. Surprisingly, Wirtz’s father is reported to be 70 years old, while
Wirtz himself is only 20 years old. This suggests that his parents had him
later in life, which garnered attention and led fans to marvel at his father’s
apparent vigor with age. In the current football landscape, Wirtz is considered
a rising star. He has had an impressive season, featuring in 23 out of 25 Bundesliga
games for Leverkusen, contributing 6 goals and 10 assists. Additionally, Wirtz
played a significant role in Bayer Leverkusen’s 3-2 comeback victory against
Stuttgart in the DFB Cup, securing their spot in the semi-finals. His
performances have attracted the attention of wealthy clubs outside Leverkusen.
