Roberto Firmino explains impact Christmas has on Premier League footballers

Roberto Firmino, in an exclusive interview with Mirror, said he’s come to enjoy the English traditions which make Christmas a festive football feast. "For me, Christmas in England is very different from the one I lived in Brazil, for lots of reasons - on the pitch and off it," said Firmino. “But I've been here since 2015 and I've already got used to playing on these dates. When I played in Germany the league stopped, but here it is played so the fans can enjoy Christmas better. I don’t mind that at all it because we play for them. “My Christmas here, when I am not playing, is at home with my family with lots of food and products from Brazil. And of course we exchange gifts, like everyone, and they have to be an absolute secret “In Brazil, Christmas is celebrated in another way. The heat, the summer, the beach, very different clothes. It is the opposite of here. "Having your whole family together is the most important thing. But I'm a professional and you have to adapt to your place work. I enjoy it here.” As a reminder, upcoming games for Liverpool during the festive time are against Newcastle on December 26th, Arsenal on December 29th and on January 4th against Manchester City.
