Klopp: Roberto Firmino plays 12 instruments in our orchestra

Jürgen Klopp reiterated Roberto Firmino's crucial role in his Liverpool team after the Brazilian returned to the scoresheet against Leicester City.

Firmino wrapped up the Reds’ emphatic 3-0 win over the Foxes on Sunday with a pinpoint header at the Kop end four minutes before full-time.

It was the No.9’s first strike at club level for around a month and prompted an extra special celebration with his delighted teammates.

Klopp was asked about Firmino at his pre-Atalanta BC press conference on Tuesday and detailed why the forward’s responsibilities in the Liverpool system go far beyond finding the net.
