In an interview, former Liverpool striker Crouch talked about the current situation of Wilz, and he said he could resonate with the player.

Crouch said: "If anyone can resonate with Wilz now, it's me. I went through a difficult period and scored the first goal in 18 games. The problem is, I played well, but I didn't score, and I think Wilz is the same."

"You can say what you want to say, but he is a genius. It's hard to play directly when you want to stabilize, especially when you have such a high value, everyone It's all about that, aren't he? But in my opinion, he's a good player, and if he's from the youth team, we'd praise him for how good he is."

"But we look at his performance with £100 million glasses, what I like is to look at him as a player and ask, 'Is he a good player'? No doubt, he's."

Sometimes it takes only a little luck to turn things around, like Crouch's goal against Wigan Athletic. In response to this, he said: "I remember I was the third last person to touch the ball - the ball hit someone's back, and the goalkeeper hit the ball into his own goal. So, in fact, it should be the own goal after two people met."

"That goal is in my name, and then I scored another goal in the same game, and then I started to perform well. This is football, this is confidence. Some things start to be good for you, you get a chance, and then it goes well. I believe that the same will happen to Wilz."

"But fans of other teams and other teams will definitely take the opportunity to mock it, and that's what I experienced back then. You need to have a strong heart, otherwise you won't be able to gain a foothold in a big club."

When asked if Wiltz had enough support, Crouch replied: "When you are part of this group, that feeling is very special. Nunes has had a similar experience, right? He has been criticized from all sides, but Liverpool fans have never wavered in his support."
