Liverpool midfielder Roberto Firmino wants to develop a partnership with Philippe Coutinho similar to the one previously shared by Brazil greats Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.
Coutinho helped Brendan Rodgers' men sign his international team-mate Firmino for £29million from Hoffenheim in June.
But, when the chance comes, Firmino said his on-field combination with Coutinho could flourish - and he has set his standards high.
"It would be hard for anyone to be as good as Ronaldinho or Ronaldo but me and Philippe are going to do our best to get close to them and be the best players we can be for Brazil," he said.
"It was ugly what happened in the World Cup semi-final against Germany but there are new players in Brazil to turn things around and who can show that Brazil still has lots of talent and opportunities to be successful."
"He [Coutinho] said it’s a great club with a great squad and a great spirit so I’m really happy to be here," he said.
"Now I know for myself that the team spirit is really good, because the players gave me a really warm welcome."
"I am very proud of being Brazilian but I have completely changed the way I play football because Germany is a tougher, faster game which is more tactical with tighter marking," Firmino said.
"It was a great experience to have a chance to play in Germany for that time but I’m very proud to be a Brazilian player. I consider myself to be half-Brazilian and half-German on the pitch."
