The duo played together during their time at Monaco and it appears the Bulgarian still holds his former teammate in high regard. Explaining why he chose to pick the Liverpool star in the line-up, the former Manchester United midfielder told Optus Sport (via Liverpool Echo): “I don’t want to be boring, I want to say something that will surprise people – so I’ve gone with Fabinho. We were in Monaco together, he was a young boy back then. I came from the Premier League but straight away I could see his talent. He was very good in training, taking responsibility in the games, he could play at right-back and in the middle of the park."

The former Manchester United forward continued: “In training sessions, I was used to physical contact, most of the time I was smashing him here and there, with elbows and shoulders so he could go on the ground." He added: "He was like, ‘Berba, come on!’ and I’m like, ‘I’m preparing you for the Premier League.' Funnily enough, years later he’s in the Premier League and one of the best players in the Liverpool team."
