The World Cup is the biggest dream for many footballers. Being on the elite stage of national teams representing your country, in front of the best, must be one of the greatest moments as a professional, but unfortunately, some, despite living a huge moment, sadly fall by the wayside, like Roberto Firmino who will watch the tournament from home.
On 8 November, Brazil coach Tite gave the final list of the 26 players who will represent the South American country in Qatar, where - like all lists - there were many surprises and some injustices for pundits and fans. Even this list was questioned in the country, as they had the luxury of calling nine strikers, yes, nine, demonstrating once again the offensive muscle with which they arrive to the Asian continent.

From Neymar (PSG), Vinicius (Real Madrid), Richarlison (Tottenham), Raphinha (Barcelona), Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal), Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Antony (Manchester United), Martinelli (Arsenal) and Pedro (Flamengo), Tite chose all of them over Bobby Firmino, who was having a great tournament in England, scoring nine goals for the Red's until this weekend, including Premier League and Champions League.
A statement from inside the team was heard that shocked the media. "He was devastated and understandably so. His last shot at a World Cup. And is club form this season has been very good. Liverpool will benefit from him getting a break," they told The Athletic. At 31 years of age, his participation in the next World Cup to be held in the USA/Mexico/Canada will be complicated, as he will be 34 years old when he arrives on the American continent.
Bobby turned the page, dried his tears and came out to play one of his best games of the semester. With barely six minutes gone and Firmino was in the box and scored the first of the Pool's three goals on the afternoon. The fans at Anfield responded with a huge round of applause in unison and the chant of "Bobby, Bobby!" framed what for Merseyside was an injustice, as Jürgen Klopp, Roberto was one of the keys to winning games.
