Amid all the attention on one Brazilian at Liverpool this season, little has gone on the other.
Roberto Firmino has four goals so far – two in the Premier League and two in the Champions League – but putting the ball in the net is not this Liverpool No 9’s only job.
This is a striker who last season completed 58 tackles – more than Gary Cahill, Jan Vertonghen, Shkodran Mustafi, Harry Maguire and Joel Matip, to name a few.
Jurgen Klopp’s plan for high intensity pressing was a popular topic when he came to the Premier League two years ago and, whether it’s working or not, Firmino fits it perfectly.
