I was already impressed - Roberto Firmino heaps praise on Liverpool starlet

By Debkalpa Banerjee Modified 11 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Roberto Firmino is in his eighth season with the Reds. Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has heaped praise on promising midfielder Fabio Carvalho, saying he has grown to be a close friend. Carvalho, 20, joined the Reds from Fulham earlier this summer, penning a five-year contract at Anfield. Last season, he played a key role in the Cottagers' EFL Championship title win - registering ten goals and eight assists in 36 league games.

He said: "He's a great player. I confess that I had watched some of his games before he came to Liverpool, so I was already impressed by the way he played." He added: "He's a star; he's a great player, and now he's also a very close friend. We are happy to have him here at Liverpool, and I know he will help us a lot, with assists, goals and also his character on the pitch." Despite starting just once in the Premier League, Carvalho has scored two goals for the Reds in 148 minutes of action this season. He netted his first goal for the club in a 9-0 win against Bournemouth before following up with a late-winner after coming off the bench in a 2-1 win over Newcastle United last month.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hails Fabio Carvalho

Speaking to the club's official website in July, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp lauded Fabio Carvalho after the latter's arrival at Anfield before the start of the season. He said: "Fabio, wow, what a season he played with Fulham. Getting promoted (with a) football-playing (style), properly football-playing, is not easy. So, Marco Silva obviously did an incredible job there, but a big part of that was absolutely Fabio." He continued: "When we watched him, it was a pure joy to watch him, absolutely. He can play so many different positions for us, the way we play. At the minute he's not really set on one position. It's the wing, it's the eight, it's the 10, it's the false nine if he grows a few more muscles. (He's a) fantastic prospect." Carvalho will hope for similar exploits in his first full season with the Reds. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Bhargav × Feedback Thank You!
