Beautiful story about Firmino’s childhood makes us love him more

This is a lovely story!

Roberto Firmino has come from rags to riches, and we couldn’t be more delighted.

Like many Brazilian football stars, Bobby did not have a privileged childhood, but his talent earned him a move to Europe and he now makes £180k every week!

Firmino is currently at the World Cup, but has been underused by Tite, who for some reason, picks Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus ahead of him.

Bobby had a much better season in 2017/18 individually, is in his prime and despite coming from the bench, has performed much more impressively in Russia.

We don’t expect him to start against Mexico, but are sure he’ll have a serious impact if El Selecao need him off the bench.

With Mo Salah and Sadio Mane exiting at the group stages, Firmino is the last of our attackers left!
