Liverpool striker Firmino: We must be proud winning two Cups last season

Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino has declared they're going for the lot this season.

Firmino and his teammates are up and running with an impressive 3-1 victory over City in the FA Community Shield last weekend and begin their fresh bid for Premier League glory at Fulham this Saturday lunchtime.

“I feel grateful for last season. I don't want to diminish the achievement of the two trophies, but we were chasing all four and unfortunately it wasn't to be," the No.9 told the official Liverpool matchday programme.

“Who knows this season? We'll go after all four trophies again, but it's about taking things step by step, working very hard to get there. Of course it's possible and our focus is to win all four trophies.

“We will compete for all four, but it depends on the work we do and how we progress. Our focus is to compete in and win all four competitions.

“We had won two trophies, of course, which is worth celebrating. It was really rewarding. I'm grateful to God for our fans, for their effort and the constant support they always provide us with.

“It was an incredible experience for us. It served to motivate and strengthen us even further in preparation for this coming season."
