Florian Wirtz: Liverpool Star Shows Promise After Key Assists

written by Julia Evans โ€“ Entertainment Editor

FRANKFURT, โขGermany (AP) – Florianโค Wirtz delivered two โ€assists as Liverpool defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 on Wednesday, ending a four-game losing streak and asserting he believes heโข is capable of significantly more contributionโค to the team.

wirtz, who joined โ€Liverpool from โ€‹Bayer โฃLeverkusen for a โ€‹transfer fee potentially reaching 116 million poundsโ€Œ ($155โ€‹ million), had faced scrutiny for a lack of โขgoal contributions โ€Œprior to the Champions League match. โขHe set up goals for Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai during the victory. In the 90thโ€Œ minute, Wirtz was in a scoring positionโ€ but Mohamed Salah chose to shoot instead ofโ€ pass.

“In the first halfโ€ I made it hard for myself getting into good spaces and then I was unfortunate to lose the ball before weโค conceded, butโ€Œ on the whole it โ€was OK,” Wirtz said. “Iโฃ no that I can doโข much, much more. I think the second half was reallyโ€‹ good, and from everyone else too, and so I’m โฃsatisfied that โคwe’ve won today and that โ€‹I โ€Œfinally have a goal involvement.”

Wirtz assistedโข Gakpo on a counterattack โคin the โ€‹66thโข minute for Liverpool’s fourth goal and then โขpassed to Szoboszlai four minutes later, who scored from the โ€‹edge of the penalty area.

Prior to Wednesday’s game, Wirtz had โ€not โฃscored or assisted a goal for Liverpool in either the โ€‹Champions โ€‹League orโค Premier League.His onyl previousโค goal involvement since joining the club came inโฃ his debut game against Crystal Palaceโค in the Communityโค shield.

Liverpool manager Arne Slotโข defended Wirtz’s โ€‹early performances before kickoff, stating that statisticsโค don’t fully reflect hisโค impact. “In football,โ€‹ people always judge โคplayers on assists and goals.โ€Œ And he’s been very unlucky in that he could have been on three, four, five, six assists,” Slot told DAZN. “Even lastโค game โฃ(againstโข Manchester โ€‹United), it wasn’t an assist or a โ€Œgoal from him butโ€ maybe the most vital part of the goal came from him. The pre-assist, if you โ€‹want to call it like this. So Florian’s had a good start at Liverpool but if you only lookโข at goals and assists then you might getโ€ a different opinion. But that’s not my opinion.”

Boeing 787-9: Lufthansa sends Allegris-Dreamliners with blocked seats first to Montreal

written by Priya Shah โ€“ Business Editor

Lufthansa’s New Dreamliner Cabin Faces Seat Certification Delays

First Boeing 787-9 with Allegris to Debut with Limited Business Class Availability

Lufthansa anticipates the arrival of its initial ten Boeing 787-9 aircraft, featuring the highly anticipated Allegris business class cabin, without further significant delays. The airline expects the first delivery in September, though a crucial component of the new cabin is experiencing certification hurdles.

Business Class Seat Certification Awaiting FAA Approval

CEO **Carsten Spohr** confirmed that the launch will proceed, but with a caveat: “The first business class seats will definitely have blocked,” he stated. The certification process for many of the new business class seats, involving Boeing, seat manufacturer Collins, and the FAA, is proving complex. **Spohr** indicated that while certification for all seats is expected this year, it won’t be completed in time for the September delivery.

Frankfurt-Montreal Route First for Allegris Dreamliner

The inaugural route for the Boeing 787-9 equipped with the Allegris cabin has been revealed as Frankfurt to Montreal. **Spohr** noted that this initial service will feature “very few business class seats” in the new configuration. The airline plans to operate the aircraft on this route for several weeks with the temporarily unavailable seats. Additionally, one of the current Boeing 787-9s, not fitted with the Allegris cabin, is being utilized for pilot training in Germany.

Phased Rollout of Certified Seats Expected

Lufthansa may see some of the later deliveries within the first ten aircraft already equipped with fully certified seats. **Spohr** explained that the airline anticipates a gradual rollout of certified seats for the aircraft already in service, as approvals are granted.

Fleet Expansion and Austrian Airlines Transition

Currently, Lufthansa operates five Boeing 787-9s that were originally configured for Hainan Airlines. These aircraft are slated to transfer to Lufthansa Group subsidiary Austrian Airlines. This transition will only occur once Lufthansa can replace them with its new Dreamliners featuring the Allegris cabin. The Lufthansa Group is set to receive a total of 34 Boeing 787-9s, with 27 powered by Rolls-Royce engines.

The airline industry is navigating complex supply chains, as seen with Boeing’s recent delivery challenges. For instance, in 2023, Airbus faced similar production ramp-up issues impacting airline delivery schedules globally (Reuters, 2024).

Austrian Airlines Also to Receive New Dreamliners

The Lufthansa Group’s fleet expansion plans include providing Austrian Airlines with its own share of the new Boeing 787-9 aircraft equipped with the advanced cabins.

Europe Stock Exchanges Explore 24-Hour Trading for Retail Investors

by Lucas Fernandez โ€“ World Editor
written by Lucas Fernandez โ€“ World Editor

This article discusses the growing trend of 24-hour or out-of-hours trading, particularly in the U.S. market,and its potential implications for European stock exchanges and investors.

Here’s a breakdown of the key points:

The U.S. Trend:

Growing Appetite: There’s a significant and growing demand for extended trading hours in the U.S.
 Cboe’s Move: Cboe Global Markets is planning to offer 24-hour trading for U.S. equities five days a week on its Cboe EDGX Equities Exchange.
NYSE and Nasdaq: The New York Stock Exchange has applied to extend trading to 22 hours a day, and Nasdaq to 24 hours.
 Robinhood’s Influence: Platforms like Robinhood are already generating significant U.S. market activity overnight, influencing opening prices. Robinhood’s CEO sees 24-hour markets as a future necessity.

European Response and Challenges:

Lagging Retail Activity: Retail activity in European markets significantly lags behind the U.S.
 Cboe Europe’s Monitoring: Cboe Europe is closely watching the U.S.trend and the desire of global retail investors to engage more with European cash equity markets.
Cboe Europe’s Initiatives: Cboe launched a service to cut trading charges across 18 European markets to encourage retail participation.
 London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG): LSEG is reportedly exploring the technological and regulatory aspects of extending its trading hours.
SIX Group (Swiss Stock Exchange): SIX Group is examining extending trading hours for structured products (ETFs,derivatives) due to demand for U.S. stocks from retail investors.
 Euronext: euronext, which operates multiple European exchanges, has not yet seen client demand for extended trading hours and doesn’t see an immediate need to review its overall trading hours due to a lack of consensus among industry participants.
Deutsche Bรถrse (frankfurt Stock Exchange): Deutsche Bรถrse echoes Euronext, stating they would extend hours if there was demand, but currently, there isn’t. Investor Preference: Other European exchanges and brokers suggest European investors are more interested in trading U.S.equities and linked products after hours, rather than a renewed interest in european companies.

Impact on Retail Investors and Market Attractiveness:

Positive for Retail Involvement: Hargreaves Lansdown believes extended trading hours are positive for retail investor involvement, catering to smartphone-based trading.
 Limited Impact on Company Attractiveness: However, they doubt it will significantly improve the attractiveness of listed companies to investors or influence companies’ decisions on where to list.
Risks of Extended Hours: Extended trading hours carry risks, including sharp price moves due to lower liquidity, which can lead to margin calls for investors.
 low Retail Investment in the UK: The article highlights weak levels of retail investment in UK markets, with Brits having the lowest percentage of their wealth in investments among G7 countries.Other European nations also lag behind the U.S. in this regard.Overall Sentiment:

The article suggests a divergence between the U.S. and europe regarding extended trading hours. while the U.S. is actively pursuing and implementing 24-hour trading, driven by retail demand and platform innovation, european exchanges are more cautious, waiting for clear client demand and industry consensus. The focus for European retail investors seems to be on accessing U.S. markets during extended hours rather than a surge in interest for European equities during those times. The article also touches upon the broader issue of lower retail investment in European markets compared to the U.S.
