Roberto Firmino Set To Drastically Change His Look For The World Cup

Roberto Firmino Set To Drastically Change His Look For The World Cup

It'll be his first appearance at a World Cup...

Roberto Firmino is set to change his appearance big-time when the World Cup rolls around in a couple of months

After his formidable form for Liverpool, which has seen him score 21 goals and contribute further with nine assists, he has already sealed his place in the Selecao squad - with manager Tite confirming he is one of 15 picks he has already decided on.

Firmino's first national team call-up came in October 2014, a few months after the World Cup on home soil, and with the showpiece in Russia being his World Cup debut, he wants to mark the occasion with a new look.

In an interview with SporTV, the former Hoffenheim man said he is considering switching up his hairstyle and likely going bald, channelling his inner Ronaldo, one of Brazil's finest ever players.


We're not expecting "Bobby" to replicate R9's ridiculous trim from the 2002 World Cup victory in South Korea and Japan - it'll probably be more like his cold, killer look displayed four years previous when he scored four times as Brazil reached the final.

Already, plenty of Reds fans are in favour of their No.9 making the big alteration:

Will Firmino be Brazil's No.9 for the World Cup or will Gabriel Jesus, back from injury, be the main man up top?

Sound off in the comments.
