Klopp ADMIT singing the FIRMINO song at Anfield AFTER the Brazilian's magical performance

Jurgen Klopp has rconfessed that he was close to serenading the Firmino song at Anfield after the Brazilian’s magical display against Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

Firmino replaced Divock Origi in the first half due to injury. His paranormal drive during his introduction led to the delivery of two assist apportioning them for Mane and Salah on his right and left respectively. The win mount Liverpool on the Premier League table with 15 points, five wins out of five games so far.

Klopp in his post match after the game admitted that he almost joined in the singing of the ‘Si Senor’ chant on the grounds by Liverpool fans.

“I was close to singing it!” the boss told Liverpoolfc.com with a smile.

“No, it was really good. We knew that he could play, it’s not about that, it’s just that he had the trip he had. They [Firmino and fellow Brazil international Fabinho] were in Miami and LA and arrived on Thursday morning after playing Tuesday night. It’s really difficult to judge these situations and that’s why we made the decision. 

“It was the right decision and we had changed in the game already because Div was a bit too wide, Mo was a bit too wide, Sadio, he can play that position as good as anybody, but we decided to change because we wanted Sad a bit more flexible [and] coming from the wing inside. 

“Then Div unfortunately showed up that he cannot carry on and hopefully that’s not too serious, to be honest. It didn’t happen in that situation when he went down, it was early, very early in the game on the sideline I think. So that he could carry on makes me hope it’s not too serious.

“But of course, what Bobby did then on the pitch: phenomenal! Nice game!”

Liverpool are now ahead of Man City strtching their lead to five points.
