Liverpool legend hails Jurgen Klopp for getting the best out of Mohamed Salah

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has praised Jurgen Klopp for helping get the best out of Mohamed Salah after the Egytian was on the scoresheet yet again at the weekend.

Salah was on target for his 32nd goal of the season in the weekend’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle United.

And not only is Salah breaking Liverpool records with his astonishing goalscoring form, he is also breaking personal ones. Based on what Salah has done so far, the Reds’ top scorer could lead his club to the Champions League crown. Looking at the odds for Liverpool to win the world’s premier club competition if you like a bet it might be a smart move to have a punt with a william hill promotional code on the Reds to lift the trophy.

Signed from AS Roma in the summer, the former Chelsea man has already surpassed his best ever goals total in a single season, and Gerrard believes Jurgen Klopp has plenty to do with Salah finding his best form.

“In my younger days I’d be running round everywhere on the pitch trying to impress. But as I got a bit older I started getting a bit more selfish, making runs centrally,” explained the Liverpool legend and U18s coach.

“If the ball went out wide, always attack areas where you can get goals. That’s where my numbers as a midfielder grew. And that’s what Jürgen has done to him.

“When Jürgen signed him he has said to him, ‘I don’t want you stuck out wide on the wings creating for other people, I want you to be the main man.

“‘You’re going to be the top scorer in this team, so attack the sticks and attack central areas.’”
