Klopp Regrets Not Signing Mane When He Was At BvB – Peter Krawietz

Liverpool assistant manager, Peter Krawietz has come out to say that Sadio Mane has exceeded expectations at the club. He recently revealed that the Senegalese is definitely one of the top three players in the world in his position as a winger.

According to him, despite his underwhelming last season, Mane remains a unique footballer who delivers one-v-one skills, speed and deadly finishing.

He added that Jurgen Klopp actually regrets not signing the African when he was at Borussia Dortmund.

His words, “I believe Jurgen feels that as a manager it was one of his biggest mistakes not to sign him for Borussia Dortmund! Then of course we had him always in our minds, we knew how unbelievable he can be.”

“We followed his development at Southampton as well and he performed already on this higher level, in the Premier League, and this was in the end a no-brainer opportunity to bring this player to our squad.”

“His qualities are unique. Sadio is a player with every, every, every possibility in attacking: his one-v-one skills, his speed, left or right, his finishing. His ability to score goals with his head as well is unbelievable – to jump as high as he is able to do, I never saw that before.”

“As well, his readiness and ability in terms of defending; whatever you want from him he is able to learn very, very, very quick and has this effort he puts in for the team in defending situations as well. He leads by example, he leads by quality, he leads by his attitude.”
