See this content in the original post

This week we focus on Roberto Firmino.

When looking at the modern day striker he has to be up there with the very best. 

The beauty of Firmino is he can do it all

Drop Deep, run in behind, score all types of goals and assist his team mates on a regular basis. He is the ultimate team player.

Key features you will see in the video

-work rate off the ball

- knowing when to speed up vs slow the game down

- dropping between the lines

- multiple assist for team mates

- A player who plays for the team 

With Salah, Mane alongside him the frontline is devastating but in my opinion Firmino is the gel and the focal point of the team. The complete striker!
