Liverpool striker Firmino on World Cup exit: I have no answers

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino was left frustrated by Brazil's World Cup elimination by Belgium.

Firmino was finally introduced to play by boss Tite at half-time with the South Americans trailing by two goals.

The Liverpool forward helped pull one back with ten minutes remaining - courtesy of a strike from former Anfield team-mate Philippe Coutinho - but it was too little, too late for the 2002 winners.

“This is a huge blow for us," Firmino said after the game.

“It is still difficult for us to understand what happened and where we made a mistake. I do not have an answer for these questions yet. Maybe I will tomorrow or later."
