Klopp praises Firmino on leaving Liverpool: “He’s one of the best”

Last Sunday, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool beat Manchester United 7-0, the biggest result in the history of that match. And the last goal of the match was scored by Roberto Firmino, the Brazilian striker who is unlikely to remain at the English club after the end of the season, according to information from the Sky Sports.

After the match, Klopp spoke about Firmino’s departure and praised the 31-year-old Brazilian. “It wasn’t an easy decision for Bobby (to leave Liverpool after the end of the season), he’s one of the best,” he said.

Furthermore, the German manager commented on how Firmino was welcomed by the fans at Anfield Road, who applauded him after the goal he scored in the defeat against United. “The reception he received was absolutely out of the ordinary. I think his goal was the most anticipated goal in the whole stadium,” added Klopp.

The Brazilian also went on social media and thanked the fans for their affection.

“What a special day! I am very grateful to God for giving me this moment! What a joy it is to feel the affection and love of my teammates and all the fans,” said Firmino, in his account of Instagram.

Liverpool are going through a moment of recovery and have Firmino for the next challenges of the season. This Saturday, at 9:30 (Brasilia time), the English team will face Bournemouth in the Premier League, at the Vitality Stadium. Then, on Wednesday 15 March, at 5 pm, he will have a hard stop ahead, as he will face Real Madrid, at the Santiago Bernabéu, in the Champions League, having to overturn a 5-2 result, built earlier in the round of 16 leg of the competition.
