Style of play

Firmino (pictured in 2018) is known for his creativity, link-up play, goalscoring and workrate.

Regarded at his peak as one of the greatest strikers in world football, Firmino is known for his clinical finishing, proficient technical ability and impressive workrate.[125][126][127]

At Hoffenheim, Firmino primarily played as anattacking midfielder,or as asecond striker,but was also used as aforward,wingerorcentral midfielder,[128]with Firmino using his speed, close control and vision wherever he is deployed.[129]After initially starting as a left winger at Liverpool underBrendan Rodgers,new manager Jürgen Klopp used Firmino more centrally, often described as a False 9.[130][131][132]In later seasons, especially from the 2020–21 season onward, Firmino has also often been used as a central attacking midfielder in a 4–2–3–1 formation, although tasked with significantly more pressing than a player typically does in such a position.[133]

Ryan Babel,a teammate of Firmino's at Hoffenheim, described him as "a tricky player", saying that "he can dribble, shoot, he has a great shot, he can play a lot of through balls and his assists are very good", while also praising a heading ability which would not be common amongst other players of Firmino's slender build and relatively small stature,[28]a unique trait which journalist andESPNcontributorMichael Coxhas also noted.[134]Babel also stated that Firmino had a humble mentality and no problems with attitude.[28]ManagerHemerson Mariaalso stated that he was impressed with Firmino's "strong personality and mentality".[135]In addition to his technical skills, creativity, link-up play, and goalscoring, Firmino has also been praised by his managers, teammates, and pundits for his positional sense, mobility, intelligent movement, and ability to make attacking runs off the ball, which often draws opposing players out of position and creates space for his teammates.[134][136][137][138][139]

Due to his energy and defensive workrate off the ball,[136][137][140]Klopp has referred to Firmino as the "engine" that propels the team's relentless counter-attacking system; "If he loses the ball, he fights for it back. If he loses it again, he fights for it. He looks like the engine of the team."[141]The suitability of Firmino's playing style to Klopp's pressing system has meant that Firmino was referred to as "Liverpool's most important player" on several occasions during the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons.[136]Due to Firmino's wide range of skills,Thierry Henrydescribed him as "the most completestrikerin thePremier League".[135]Likewise, defenderNathan Akéidentified him as his toughest opponent, as "he could do everything".[142]

Firmino is also well known for his popular "no-look" goals.[143][144]One of his best knowngoal celebrations,'the Matador', features in theFIFA 19video game.[145]

Personal life

Firmino married Larissa Pereira in his hometown in June 2017. They have three daughters.[146]In November 2022 the couple announced they were expecting a fourth child.[147]In addition to his native Portuguese, Firmino also speaks English and German.[148]Firmino is a Christian and was baptised in 2020 in the swimming pool of Liverpool teammateAlisson.[149]

Firmino has been given the nickname "Bobby" by Liverpool supporters and players – ashorteningof his first name "Roberto".[150]Firmino is known to spend time with compatriots and teammatesAlissonandFabinhoas well as countrymenEdersonandFredat their houses with their families also.[151][152][153][154][155][156]Previously, the group also spent time withFernandinhoand his family before they departed back to Brazil.[155]

In December 2016, Firmino was arrested for drunk driving. He was fined £20,000 and had his driving licence revoked for a year when sentenced atLiverpool Magistrates' Courtin February 2017.[157]

In June 2024, Firmino became pastor of anevangelical churchhe founded inMaceio,Brazil, which he founded three years ago alongside his wife Larissa Pereira and pastors Jairo Fernandes and Keila Medeiro.[158][159][160][161]The dedication was held in his hometown of Maceio in the Manah Church.[161]
