Jurgen Klopp reveals what the Club World Cup meant for Roberto Firmino

Liverpool became FIFA Club World Cup champions for the first time in club's history after Roberto Firmino scored the game's only goal in the 99th minute. The Reds entered the tournament from the semi-final stage as a result of becoming Champions League winners and reached the final after winning 2-1 against Monterrey. During the semi-final, Firmino also scored the winner in the last minutes of the game (90+1'). After the game, Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp revealed what the victory meant for Roberto Firmino. "Brazil has footballers all over the world and three play in my team and they are very important and decisive for us,” said the Liverpool boss. “Bobby could score the goal tonight which meant the world for him and us. It's a really nice story. “The best thing about three boys up front is if one isn't scoring, the others are scoring. “Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri have scored important goals for us or set them up. Mo Salah has scored important goals, Sadio Mane has scored incredibly important goals. “Here we needed Bobby's goals, and here they are." "I couldn't be more happy for him. Before the game we spoke a lot about what this competition means for Brazilian people, and we had two playing," added Klopp. “It means the world for him. It was a sensational goal, completely calm. Really, really happy for him. “We spoke about it before the game that now we are here, if we want to win it then we have to show it. “And I think my players showed that from the first second.”  source - LiverpoolECHO
