Roberto Firmino hoping to become the 'Neymar of Liverpool'

Roberto Firmino hopes to become the 'Neymar of Liverpool' under Jurgen Klopp.

In an interview with the Daily Mail he spoke about the German manager at Anfield. 

"I played against his teams for four-and-a-half years," said Firmino.

"I know what he wants from a player. When I heard that he was coming to be Liverpool manager, I was so pleased. I could not have been happier.

"I knew what he was going to bring here. He brought a style of work and play from Germany and the team has adapted to it. Our friendship is crystal clear. There is nothing behind it. He is a great person. If you do what he asks you to do, you will never let him down.

"Can he make me the Neymar of Liverpool? It all depends on me."
