Brazil coach Tite has confirmed that Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino will be given a new role in his country’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers.. .
The Liverpool striker will seek to rediscover his goal-scoring touch with the Seleção as his club position is subject to further scrutiny.. .
In the last match before the international break, Jürgen Klopp chose to start all four of his attacking players, including new signing Diogo Jota..
Summer signing has scored seven goals in his first 11 games for the Reds, and many believe he should replace Firmino in Klopp’s squad. .
However, in the draw against Man City, the Brazilian striker behind the top three was used by Jota, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.. .
With Neymar missing from the two matches against Venezuela and Uruguay, Tete had to change cards, with Firmino playing in a position described as « an arc more than an arrow ».
Confirms that Everton striker Richarlison will play as No. 9, a position usually held by Firmino himself.. .
Titi said: « The position according to Richarlison is ‘9’ ». Firmino will be a freer player, and the bow will be more than the arrow, unlike the other game, it will be more pronounced.
« I don’t want to go into further details either. In terms of strategy, we try to preserve some information, just as we take care of the opponent, he takes care of us.
Elsewhere, Liverpool goalkeeper Alison is set to return to the squad after missing his last two matches due to injury..
Fabinho will miss the matches, as the Reds keeper highlighted his importance to Liverpool and Brazil.
