Firmino: Liverpool teammates Coutinho, Mane are ‘exceptional, unique’

Roberto Firmino has heaped praise on his Liverpool attacking mates Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane.

The Brazilian forward often plays alongside his fellow compatriot Coutinho as well as Senegalese winger Mane in a front three under Jurgen Klopp and insists it is a pleasure teaming up with these types of players.

"They're exceptional players, they're unique," he told Liverpoolfc.com.

"With excellent players like them, I know what they're going to do before they get the ball.

"We're going to carry on giving our absolute all."

Firmino has scored nine goals and provided six assists in 30 matches in all competitions this season.
