In this post-hipster epoch, simply scoring a goal is no longer an impressive achievement.
It’s cliché to the point of boredom – “Oh, you t**tted it in from 30 yards? Well done you *slow clap*.”
But step forward Roberto Firmino, who has solved our ennui with the no-look finish. A skill so impudent, so unnecessary, that we can only stand and applaud with our mouths gaping, wondering “Why?”.
The Brazil star pulled the trick in Sunday’s friendly against Chile…
And has form for the same finish for his club side, Hoffenheim…
JOE salutes you, Roberto, and your incredibly pointless ability to score without looking.
