Jurgen Klopp reveals how Liverpool can recreate the front line of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane
Jurgen Klopp has insisted Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have star quality to replace their famous front line from their final glory days, despite it being “not possible” for them to have the same relationship.
A trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have helped the Reds win several trophies in recent years, winning every trophy at their disposal in their five full seasons together at Anfield.
While Salah remains an integral part of Liverpool’s plans, Firmino has revealed he will leave the club when his contract expires this summer, while Mane joined Bayern Munich last year.
Liverpool tried to get away from the latter two. Diogo Jota usurped Firmino in the pecking order last season, while Luis Diaz quickly became a fan favorite after arriving in January 2022. Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo are also finding their way after relatively slow starts to their respective Premier League careers.
Klopp was asked how Liverpool managed to recreate such a dynamic front row, but he stressed the relationship between Salah, Firmino and Mane was unique and cannot be replicated.
“It’s excellent and you can’t replicate that because it was a special relationship to play football and it worked really well. The challenge for us with all the changes we’ve made now and in the years to come is to create a sensational replacement.” else,” he said of the trio.
“I really think the guys we’ve brought in really have their own particular skill set and we have to adjust a little bit as a team – the way we play, the way we set it up, stuff like that. But they all have the potential to be really great and that’s why we recruited them.
“The guys are ready to push somewhere; nobody knows [where] it is at the moment but they are young, they have many years of football ahead of them and we will see. My job is to make sure we do -enter them.” the right positions, we play the right system for them in the right way and then the guys can do what they do best.”
