One of the PL's most effective Brazilian strikers has been left out of Qatar 2022

With the passing of the days, several national teams have begun to define their final list with which they will travel to Qatar before 20 November, surprised that the Brazilian team led by Leonardo Bacchi or better known as "Tite", already has everything ready to undertake the trip and try to get the sixth world title for the yellow-green, leaving after his call, a controversy surrounding a player who plays for Liverpool.

The 26-man squad that Tite presented during his press conference looked coherent and even attractive down to the midfield elements, but once they began to name the players in charge of the Rio attack, alarm bells started to ring when Roberto Firmino's name was not mentioned at any point, confirming his non-attendance at the World Cup due to decisions made by his coach.

Although Firmino was called up to his national team's last games in September, the Liverpool striker did not see action against Ghana and Tunisia, but even before that he was not asked to play against South Korea and Japan, confirming that Tite had no particular interest or liking for the 31-year-old, a fact that was confirmed by the fact that he was left out of Qatar 2022.

Despite Bobby being the most effective Brazilian striker in the Premier League this season, outperforming all his team-mates called up for the World Cup, he did not convince his manager with his goals and assists, with Firmino experiencing another rejection like the one he had with Jurgen Klopp a few months ago where there was only speculation that he would leave the club in the summer of 2023.

<strong>Firmino is inconsistent in his performances</strong>

In less than half a year the Reds striker has been snubbed by both his national team and his England side, although recently the Liverpool boss has hinted that a contract renewal is being sought for the South American attacker, following his fine performances in both the Champions League and Premier League in recent weeks, racking up a total of eight goals and four assists between the two competitions.
