Rivaldo is delighted seeing Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino succeeding in England.
Firmino is the first Brazilian to reach 50 Premier League goals, but backed himself to have done the same if he'd ever made the move to England.
Roberto Firmino has become the first Brazilian player to reach 50 goals on Premier League and I must congratulate him for that achievement," Rivaldo told Betfair.
He is a player of great personality, with a particular taste for scoring goals and also very clever on his movements near the opposite goal.
He didn't play in the starting 11 at the last World Cup but looks like he will have a good chance of starring for his country in 2022 because he is a top forward.
Perhaps if I had signed for Manchester United when I had the opportunity, I could have achieved something similar to what Firmino is doing at Liverpool .
Of course, it would depend on the time spent there. But I did shape my style from a creative player, who only assisted others, into someone who could also score regularly."
