Life Journey

Jose Roberto Firmino was born in Marceio, Alagoas, on October 2, 1991, to Mariana Cicero and Jose Roberto Firmino in a poor family. As a child, Roberto’s parents lived in a dirty town with criminal elements, and they had to take lots of precautions to prevent him from getting influenced by bad influences. Before he was old enough to be on his own, Roberto’s mother prohibited him from leaving the house.

It was his father’s business to sell water bottles, and Roberto worked for him. The family had no other source of income, and it was very difficult to live comfortably on that meager income. His only interest was playing football and not getting involved in the family business. Since he was six years old, he has been addicted to the sport. He would find ways to sneak out of the house even though his parents were watching him closely.
