DBasia.news – Liverpool defender, Virgil van Dijk, feels very fortunate to be able to play in a team with Roberto Firmino.
“Firmino is a very important player for all of us. “I know how challenging it is for a defender when a striker moves wildly and he makes life more difficult for any defender in the world,” Van Dijk said.
Liverpool won 3-1 over Newcastle United in the continuing English League match at Anfield.
Firmino’s presence had a very positive impact on Liverpool against Newcastle. He played a major role in Liverpool’s second and third goals scored by Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
“Firmino is very good and I am very happy that he is in my team,” added Van Dijk.
Firmino himself has defended Liverpool in seven matches this season. He also contributed two goals and four assists.
