Liverpool star Sadio Mane has defended his Brazilian teammate Roberto Firmino.

The two are part of the Reds' fearsome attacking trio, which also includes Mohamed Salah.

Firmino may not get as many goals as the other two, but Mane says he is the most important attacker in the team.

"He deserves more credit than me and Mo, for sure," said Mane to ESPN Brazil.

"But it is part of football, (people) always seeing the goals scored. But without Bobby, I don't see me and Mo score as many goals as we have, to be honest.

"He makes everything easier for us."

He added: "Brazil are just lucky to have Firmino. I have always said to Bobby: 'you will have to change your nationality and come to Senegal!'

"For me, that would be a dream. I just love him. I think he is my favourite team-mate."
