Al-Ahli superstar forward Roberto Firmino has gotten back to perform at his best with The Greens after the half-season break.
One of the major factors for such improvement is obviously the fact that the coach Matthias Jaissle has started to operate him as a playmaker or second striker behind the center-forward, which as we have previously analyzed, is the natural position of the player, as he was a natural #10 with Hoffenheim and played as a false nine down the zone 14 with Liverpool.
The second reason is that when playing in this spot, and with another goalscorer like Feras Al-Buraikan, he does not have the pressure to score each game anymore, because his main job now is to create and make the difference between the lines.
