“In Europe I needed to play against Firmino and he’s a really difficult striker to mark because he’s consistently getting out of position,” Martinez told Ole. “That generates confusion, you lose the reference… If you happen to go searching for him, he takes you out of your position rather a lot. As well as, he’s a player who moves thoroughly and, on his back, with the ball, it is vitally difficult to take it away from him. He is excellent.”
Firmino’s Anfield exit is removed from a done deal, particularly given the quantity of attacking departures already this summer. Mane has been joined by Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi in searching for latest challenges, with Klopp welcoming Nunez and Fabio Carvalho on top of securing Salah to a latest long-term contract.
