Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has credited a Jurgen Klopp tactical tweak in inspiring his goalscoring tear.
The Egypt icon has plundered 30 goals in 36 appearances this season and is on the tail of Tottenham striker Harry Kane in the Premier League’s goalscoring charts.
The 25-year-old has been a sensation since joining from Roma in the summer but Salah has reserved praise for Klopp, explaining a positional switch and work on his weaknesses has been key.
“With the boss here, I play a little bit closer to the goal, more so than at any other club or more than any of my other coaches have asked me to,” Salah told Liverpool’s official matchday programme (h/t Sky Sports).
“So I am always in front of the goal to give me the opportunity to score. The manager is always telling me to stay close to the goal in training.
“I don’t want to say too much because we still have a long way to go in the season and I don’t want to give too much away. But yes, it’s something we have worked on in the training sessions.
“You cannot score 10 goals from 10 balls – that’s impossible and I know that I have missed many chances too this season. But I am trying to improve.
“I am always trying to see my weaknesses and then work on them and I am always trying to score in different ways.
“The coaches help me so much to do that and I also work hard alone after the training sessions.”
