This season Salah's excellent form is believed to be needless to say, even his side diogo Jota and Sadio Mané have performed well, with 10 goals and 7 goals in the Premier League top scorers list to chase the Egyptian king. Roberto Firmino, one of the "Egyptian civilization" groups in the past, seems to have been forgotten; however, I believe that in the next "Africa Cup of Nations time", it will be the time for the Brazilian center forward to prove himself.
In fact, Roberto Firmino has always been characterized by not scoring goals, but in his pulling power, second pass and walking ability. For example, in this season's game against Manchester United, Roberto Firmino did not score in this battle, but his no-ball position and running have repeatedly pulled apart the Red Devils' defense, so that Salah, Diogo Jota, Nabi Keita and others behind him can take advantage of David De Gea. Roberto Firmino's goalscoring volume is not as dazzling as Diogo Jota's, but it does not mean that his ability and importance are not as good as the Portuguese.
Roberto Firmino is indeed the oldest in the "Egyptian Civilization" combination, but in fact, Roberto Firmino has only just turned 30 years old, still in the age of playing, fans really do not have to say Roberto Firmino "old" words so quickly. This season, Roberto Firmino was only sidelined for a while due to muscle and Hamstring injuries (and infections); I believe that the healthy Roberto Firmino still has an important place in Klopp's mind.
Roberto Firmino may not be able to cut, move and finish diogo Jota, but the Brazilian's big picture, running, and enthusiasm when pressing are difficult to find in the football world. Roberto Firmino is called a center forward, but in essence he is only a "pseudo-nine"; rather than "looking for opportunities" in the penalty area, Roberto Firmino spends more time in the organization after returning, creating space and opportunities for the fast horses on both sides. There are not many "pseudo-nines" in the football world who have such technology and a big picture view. The only person whose style is more similar to Roberto Firmino may be Kay Havertz, who once made a cameo appearance in "Pseudo-Nine" last season, but the Chelsea man's fulcrum role and assistant defense work are still a gap with Roberto Firmino.
With Salah and Mane both in attendance at the Africa Cup of Nations, it is believed that Roberto Firmino will have the opportunity to prove himself (but not until he returns from the epidemic). The 30-year-old Brazilian is still promising at Anfield.
