‘Firmino is the real MVP of Liverpool’ – Brazilian forward ‘perfect’ for Klopp, says scout who took him to Hoffenheim

Roberto Firmino may not get the goals of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at Liverpool but he is the “perfect fit” for Jurgen Klopp and the real “MVP” at Anfield, says Lutz Pfannenstiel.

The Brazil international has become a key cog in the Reds’ well-oiled machine, with his value to the cause not lost on those around him.

That has been the case throughout the 28-year-old’s career to date, with his willingness to do dirty work for the benefit of the greater good having made him a valuable asset wherever he has been.
