Roberto Firmino has vowed to end Liverpool’s trophy drought for the Reds’ “amazing fans” after committing his long-term future to Jurgen Klopp’s side earlier this year.

With Liverpool’s last taste of silverware coming back in 2012, the Brazilian is still looking for the first winner’s medal of his career despite featuring in the Champions League, Europa League and League Cup Finals during his time at Anfield.

The man affectionately christened “Bobby” by the Kop cemented his status as a firm fan favourite even further as he recorded the most prolific campaign of his career to date last season.

Firing home an impressive 27 goals, including 11 in Liverpool ’s historic run to the Champions League final, Firmino’s figures were second only to Mohamed Salah as the duo alongside Sadio Mane terrorised many a defence, producing some of the finest attacking football Anfield has witnessed for a generation.

With both Salah and Mane already picking up where they left off following their World Cup exploits, the Brazilian will be hungry to do the same after returning to training this week ahead of Liverpool’s penultimate pre-season friendly against Napoli in Dublin on Saturday.

And with the start of the 2018/19 Premier League season now just over a week away, the 26-year-old is itching to return to an “incredible” Anfield and build on last season’s memorable campaign.

“Anfield is the best place in the world to play football, there’s no doubt about it,” Firmino told FourFourTwo magazine. “The atmosphere is incredible, and we always get so much strength from our supporters in every single game.

“I’m so proud to play for such a great club. I’m very grateful to God for that. I love Liverpool - it’s a great city to live in. The supporters are respectful and I like playing and living here.

“Playing for Liverpool at Anfield is a very joyous and positive experience. I can honestly tell you I actually got goosebumps on our way into the stadium [against Manchester City].

“What all the fans did that night was amazing; my eyes were full of tears. Those sort of scenes give a player a massive boost before a match - they give you even more hunger and desire to go out onto the pitch and fight for your fans.”

He continued: “I’m always really moved by the affection the fans show towards me. It just gives me even greater motivation to bring more success to this club.”

“Winning trophies is always so important to Liverpool. In particular, the Premier League title is something we've wanted for a few years.

“We're going to fight for that title once again, but all the others too.”
