FAB!

24-year-old has seen how Klopp has improved Firmino and believes he can also blossom under him.

“I came to Liverpool because I wanted to leave Monaco for an ambitious club, a club that plays to win every competition,” he said.

“Liverpool is one of these teams. I will try to create my own history at this football club.

“Hopefully, I can win titles with this club. I will try to grow and learn and improve myself. “I’ve been following Liverpool for a few years, especially when Firmino arrived. After he came here, he was able to achieve higher development at this football club. He had success and I hope the same happens to me.

“I’m still young, so I have a lot to learn in football and with Klopp I will have the chance to carry on growing and to keep learning.”

Fabinho missed out on joining Firmino in Brazil’s World Cup squad and is gutted that he cannot be at Anfield on Sunday for his national team’s friendly against Croatia.

He booked a holiday once he knew he was not going to Russia and said: “Unfortunately, I will be on holiday.

“I have my journey booked with my family. If I had been aware that Brazil were playing here, I would have stayed here to watch the match.”
