The man who first tracked the No. 9 as a talent evaluator in Germany says the attacker is the Reds' most important weapon
Liverpool's signing of Roberto Firmino in 2015 established the first building block for an eventual attacking big three that has brought Champions League and Premier League glory to Merseyside. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane would follow Firmino to complete the imposing trifecta, bringing their own qualities to the side without diminishing Firmino's unique creative influence.
Firmino's rise in England has been a continuation of his rapid development at his previous club Hoffenheim, where his former employers still speak of him as a special figure.
