Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is relishing playing as the Reds’ most advanced player. The Brazilian has headed a front three alongside Sadio Mané and Philippe Coutinho, operating as a false 9.

The move has paid dividends, with Firmino notching four goals so far this season. In an interview with Liverpool.com, Firmino said, “I train every day to be better in this position. Any position in which I play, I will always do my best and strive to be better.

“I will always play with attacking intent in my position, but I am always looking to help my teammates in any way I can. I am an attacker; however, I don’t forget about defending. It’s always in my mind to help my teammates the best I can. I try to do both on the pitch – attacking and defending – never forgetting either responsibility.”

Firmino is very happy with his development since joining Liverpool last year, “I should be moving towards that direction otherwise there would be something wrong with the way I am training! The aim is always to be better. I am the type of player who is demanding of himself, so I try to improve in every aspect. You cannot stop. I will always keep trying to achieve my goals.”
