OPINION
Deco knows what it takes to be a successful footballer and if he is tipping Fabinho for more success, then that is a good thing. The 41-year-old won the Premier League, two La Liga titles, two Champions Leagues, two FA Cups and a whole host of trophies with Porto as well. Hopefully, Fabinho, who has so far won Ligue 1 with Monaco and the Champions League with Liverpool, can get close to matching Deco’s trophy haul once his career comes to a close and hopefully he can win those trophies while at Anfield. The 25-year-old proved himself to be an important part of Jurgen Klopp’s side in his debut season during the 2018/19 campaign and he will be vital in the upcoming season. Fabinho across his 28 league appearances, made 1,610 passes, won 53% of his tackles and racked up two assists as well as got a goal to his name (Source: Premier League). Given that the 25-year-old took a little bit of time settling into life at Anfield, he will likely be able to improve of his first season even though he set the bar high.
