The Brazilian attacker says he loves it when the fans call his name. Speaking to the official Liverpool FC Magazine, Firmino said:

“I love hearing the fans calling my name and at the moment they are calling me Bobby Firmino.

“It is exciting when they are shouting your name and singing for you.

“That is a sign that we are doing something well and also a sign that they love what you are contributing for the team and an indicator of their overall support for the team.”
