Yesterday evening, Roberto Firmino capped off Brazil’s scoring in a 2-0 victory over Croatia at Anfield.
But Liverpool’s no.9 had to come off the bench to do so, after replacing Gabriel Jesus up top.

(Video) Firmino’s delicate goal for Brazil at Anfield is worth watching
Brazil manager Tite starts Manchester City’s forward as his first-choice, but the youngster has less goals at club level and played significantly worse on Sunday.
Fans who’ve watched both throughout the Premier League campaign simply cannot understand how Firmino has not usurped Jesus in the starting XI.
Bobby is much, much better off the ball, harder working and is proving himself just as established a finisher.
It shouldn’t matter to us too much, to be honest, but it is fairly frustrating that not everyone can see how brilliant Firmino actually is!

Firmino is pure class. Jesus might be a pure striker but Bobby transforms teams.
