Firmino has no problem with being Back-up to Gabriel Jesus

Roberto Firmino insists he would have no complaints over being a back-up to Gabriel Jesus for Brazil at the World Cup.

The Liverpool striker came off the bench to score the second goal in a 2-0 friendly win over Croatia at Anfield on Sunday.

Jesus, who was named captain by Tite, endured a quiet game but the Manchester City star is expected to keep his place when Brazil kick off their campaign against Switzerland on June 17. And Firmino says he will not dispute the decision.

“I’m here to help Selecao,” he told SporTV.”Whoever Tite chooses, I’ll respect it 100 per cent and I’m here when needed, to give my best for the team.”
