On that Monday, the Liverpool beat Everton, 2-0, and won again for the English Championship after four matches. In addition to the three points, Klopp’s charges can also celebrate the return of striker Firmino, after three months out of activity. After the match, the Brazilian celebrated his comeback.
“It’s really bad to be on the sidelines, deprived of what you love to do most. I’ve never stayed so long without playing. But God wanted it to be that way, and what matters is that I’m back and I feel great. It’s great to be here. available again. I always try to do my best to help Liverpool,” he said.
Firmino’s last match was on November 12 last year. After returning from official competitions after the end of the World Cup, the player had a calf injury. Despite having muscle problems, this was the time the Brazilian spent the longest time away from the pitch.
Despite the victory, Liverpool remains far from the qualifying zone for the next Champions League. In addition, it is out of the FA Cup and the English League Cup. Thus, the only possible title is the Champions League. For the round of 16, the team faces Real Madrid, on the 21st, at 5 pm (BrasÃlia time), at the Anfield Road Stadium.
“Next week, we will already have one of the most important commitments of the season, against Real, for the Champions League, and I can say that the group is well focused to play two great games”, projected Firmino.
Before the injury, Firmino entered the field in 21 opportunities, with nine goals and three assists. With that, he was quoted to compete in the World Cup for the Brazilian national team, but ended up being passed over by coach Tite.
