Millie also unravelled her many plans in the past to watch Liverpool play at Anfield.
“I’ve never really had the chance to go. Tickets are always sold out, or there’s always something wrong. That would be amazing. When I watch on TV, I want to be there – it seems so uplifting. The atmosphere is incredible.”
‘Powers’ to help Liverpool
Millie Bobby Brown possess unique supernatural abilities in her role as “Eleven” in the show including psychokinesis. When she was asked how she could help Liverpool FC in any way about her special abilities she said,
“I’d want them to communicate. I’d want to share my power with each of them and then if one person got hurt, they could go onto the pitch and heal them with my other power. That’s what I’d do.”
Although she received Roberto Firmino’s No 11 jersey, paying homage to her character from the tv show. But it turns out that the 12-year old's favourite footballer is, in fact, the club’s No 10, Philippe Coutinho. It’s not surprise considering Coutinho is equally gifted with abilities on the pitch.
