Salah Will Play Through His 30s Like Ronaldo – Klopp

Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah is cut from the same cloth as Cristiano Ronaldo, Jurgen Klopp has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the Egyptian is not built like normal people in their 30s, and he owes his fitness to keeping himself in such a good shape for so many years.

Klopp added that he loves the fact that Mo remains a super threat for the Reds because it is important for the team.

His words, “Off the pitch he behaves like a grown-up man, besides that he is just still a young player. It’s like that. He’s top fit. I think if we would really scan him, the majority of his bones are probably 19 or 20, because he just keeps himself in such a good shape. No, it’s with game understanding. That’s what we try to give young players. So, they all know an awful lot about football when they finish their career at 35, but the earlier you can get this information the more useful it is.

Obviously with Mo that’s clear, he understands the spaces much better, he knows how players react to him, and then if he cannot score he can still be a threat for us, and that’s really super-important. How I said, the Everton game obviously will not go down in history performance-wise, but then scoring two goals is massive. In other games, playing much better and not scoring but being constantly a threat, is for us as important because that really opens up spaces for all the other boys. You might be right, but I cannot compare Mo to other 30-odd-year-old players because I don’t think biologically he is [30s]!”
