NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino admits is was his ‘dream’ to make Brazil’s squad for their World Cup campaign in Qatar.
The 31-year-old has been capped 55 times by his national side and was a key part of Brazil’s success at the Copa America in 2019.
Firmino was aiming to make the second World Cup squad in his career after featuring for Brazil at Russia 2018.
But strong competition for attacking places in Tite’s squad has meant that Firmino misses out for Brazil’s run in Qatar.
