Liverpool's most important transfer target of the summer Florian Wirtz was involved in a heated struggle with Bruno Fernandes during the Nations League League of Germany by Portugal.
Liverpool strives for a club record transfer after from attacking midfielder Wirtz, where Bayer Leverkusen performs £ 120 million for one of Europe's most sought after midfielders.
The Reds are currently at £ 109 million, but reports suggest that a deal is about to be agreed, with personal conditions no problem.
On Wednesday, Reds fans had a first observation from Wirtz since the news about their pursuit broke when he stood in line for his country in the semi-final collision of the Nations League.
Wirtz did a solid version and played just left of the central striker and played a neat cool-and-go for the goal on his side.
He also won the praise of some Liverpool fans Online for a crispy studies-Tackle on Manchester United skipper Fernandes in the first half, while he was sometimes also involved in a heated row with Manchester City star Bernardo Silva.
In the first half, Wirtz Fernandes challenged a ball, but timed his tackle wrong and stood on the foot of his opponent. Fernandes hit the ground of the pain and bumped the remaining minutes to the break.
Things then escalated in the second period. During a Germany attack, Wirtz remained as stumbled by Silva on the half line and he remained on the floor. A few minutes later, from the ball, there was a fight.
The two players who could have been teammates if City had not pulled out of their pursuit of Wirtz almost against each other when Silva hit the deck and seemed to claim that he had been set.
Wirtz tried to lift the 30-year-old from the floor, but Fernandes ran inside and pulled the German away from the stage.
A push match followed among a number of players, with Wirtz booked for his involvement. VAR was considered no false game in his argument with Silva.
In the match itself, Liverpool's goal now scored the opening goal of the match after a relatively quiet first period. While his defensive work stood out, he had an attempt to set a goal in the first 45 minutes and played a neat pass for Joshua Kimmich to create a chance.
In the second half, however, he finally left time on the ball and played a neat cool-and-go with his captain, Kimmich, to score. He passed and went into the box, with the right wing back in the night that a smart cross supplied.
Nick Wolade blocked Ruben Dias and Wirtz took care of the agile film needed to defeat Diogo Costa and set his way.
Portugal, however, had the last smile. Some fans mocked Wirtz online when he was defeated by Fernandes on the right flank, and Francisco Concecao entered to curl into a nice equalizer.
Later Nuno Mendes, fresh from winning the Champions League in the same stadium, only a few days ago, played a stylish one-two with Fernandes and crossed for Cristiano Ronaldo to score the winner.
It means that Portugal will play in Spain or France in Sunday's Nations League final, while Germany will get the other in a play-off in third place.
However, Wirtz could be Liverpool player. An agreement is close by and the completion would represent a statement of the champions, which Jeremie Frimpong has already signed for £ 29.5 million and are almost in Milos Kerkez for £ 45 million from Bournemouth.
