According to the Liverpool Echo, Mohamed Salah has revealed what tactical switch Jurgen Klopp employed to make the Egyptian a lethal goalscorer.

There was excitement when Salah joined the Reds in the summer, but with every signing, there were doubts over whether he can perform at his new club, especially after failings at Chelsea.

However, with 30 goals in 36 games in all competitions this season, Salah has exceeded many expectations, but the winger has revealed why it’s not just his class which is allowing him to score the goals, with Klopp having a big role to play.

Salah revealed the trick to his success when he said:

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, 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.

The former Chelsea winger admitted that he is hoping to become even more clinical in front of goal.

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.

Salah will be hoping to carry on this form for the rest of the season as his side look to push on in the Champions League and solidify their place in the top four.
