Liverpool legend Roberto Firmino has lifted the lid on his relationship with Brendan Rodgers.

Firmino is a fan favorite at the Anfield club, winning nearly every available club trophy under Jurgen Klopp.

However, the forward arrived in 2015 when Rodgers was still in charge at Anfield.

“On the pitch, I had a terrible start that left me wondering how this was going to work out," he said in his book, Si Senor: My Liverpool Years.

“I rarely played as a striker and when I did it was as a winger, with Christian Benteke playing through the middle.

“I remember games against Manchester United and Arsenal where I played on the right side of midfield, with the responsibility to defend more than play; I spent so much of my time dropping so deep and so wide I was practically a full-back.

“I was a long way from the parts of the pitch where I could truly make an impact. It was clear that the coach, Brendan Rodgers, didn't know how to use me. I don't think he understood my style of play – I definitely never understood his plans for me. Maybe that was because he didn't really have any."
