Former Liverpool winger Dirk Kuyt has labelled Roberto Firmino a ‘complete player’ and a ‘great’ asset to Liverpool, the Daily Mail reports.
Firmino has been one of Liverpool’s star players this season having scored 25 goals and grabbed 14 assists in all competitions.
Speaking to the Liverpool official website, former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt has been full of praise for the Brazilian.
He has his own style and that makes him special. That’s what I like in players.
A typical goalscorer or different kind of striker? You see that a lot in Europe, but Firmino has his own style and he has his own speciality; he is scoring great goals but also feeding the players around him.
He’s a great goalscorer but he’s also a team player in everything he does. I don’t know him quite well, but if I see him playing he just wants to win with the team and he’s not the type of player who wants to score for himself.
Liverpool have enjoyed a stellar campaign this term, with Firmino helping them knock out rivals Manchester City to reach the semi-final stages of the Champions League.
Kuyt continued on about how he believes there is more to Firmino’s play than just his goals that makes him a great asset to the club.
He’s scoring great goals but he’s also giving great assists and then you are, in my eyes, a complete player, a great thing for Liverpool.’
I think he’s also a very hard worker, he’s selfless. I watch almost all the games and I see then he’s always giving his all.
Sometimes he’s not scoring goals or giving assists, but he is always giving his all.
