Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino claims he's a 'very privileged person' following praise from Jurgen Klopp but insists it 'won't go to his head'

Roberto Firmino has revealed that he feels 'very privileged' after receiving high praise from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

The Brazilian forward was described as 'world class, pretty much everyday' by the German boss, whereas his team-mates Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane weren't as consistent according to Klopp.

The former Hoffenheim man has scored 11 goals and set up his team-mates five time so far this season and is receiving plaudits for his efforts. However, he insists that he'll continue to keep his head down and won't get distracted by the praise.
