R. Firmino: I can become Liverpool's Neymar

"Liverpool" attacker Roberto Firmino believes that with the help of coach Jurgen Klopp, he can become the equivalent of "Barcelona" star Neymar in the ranks of the "Reds".

The Brazilian was very pleased with the arrival of the German specialist last autumn and immediately assured that they maintain excellent relationships.

The 24-year-old footballer in Liverpool is determined to start a new stage in his career.

"I played against Klopp's teams for four and a half years", Firmino told the Daily Mail, previously playing for "Hoffenheim".

"I know what he expects from the players. When I heard that he would become the coach of "Liverpool", I was very happy. I could not be happier. I knew what he would bring here. He brought a German work and playing style, and the team adapted to them."

"Our friendship is very open. We have nothing to hide. He is a great person. If you do what he asks, you will never disappoint him. Can he turn me into a Liverpool Neymar? It all depends on me."

"He wants each of us to be a runner, never stop, and constantly move. That's his philosophy, and I also like that style."

So far this season, Firmino has scored three goals in five matches in all competitions.
