‘You Cannot Score 100 Goals If You Have A Lot Of Downs’: Klopp On Firmino Finding Form Again...CONTINUE READING
Jurgen Klopp was asked about Bobby Firmino’s landmark goal number 100 and his recent uptick in form. The boss shared that it was perfect timing as the team needed him after Nunez’s suspension.
“That was, if you want, the other little benefit of the suspension that Bobby just [played] how I believed he would have played. Timing-wise it was perfect finding his real shape because he played obviously exceptionally.
“I said before, I liked a lot of the Man United game even though not a lot of people maybe agree with me on that, but then obviously Bournemouth and now again really important for us.
“The way he plays, that’s why it is the Bobby we know. You cannot score 100 goals if you have a lot of downs but if you have a lot of ups it’s maybe possible and that’s why he has reached this number, which is pretty special.
“Really happy for him. He got here in this room his shirt with 100 and the applause of the guys was nearly as loud as when we scored the 2-1 against Newcastle! Obviously everyone was really happy for him and yeah, it was good.”
