Jurgen Klopp has praised Sadio Mane’s performance against Cardiff, especially with the attacker suffering from a thumb injury.
The attacker netted two goals for the Reds in the game against the Bluebirds, and despite his injury, the Senegalese attacker played very well.
Klopp praised Mane post-match, saying that the attacker impressed him that he was even playing, let alone his performance.
Klopp said, via Liverpool’s website:
Absolutely [it was impressive], that’s how it is. He has a broken thumb and plays with a brace – I wouldn’t feel comfortable with it to be honest but he obviously ignores it pretty well! The first goal he gets the assist and the goal actually, I think he prepared it by himself. All good, a very good performance.
The German also praised the performance of his side, after a tough game against the Welsh side.
Very good moments, a lot of very good moments and of course periods where we could’ve done better, that’s how it is. But we played Wednesday, we played today, we had to create and to create and to create and to create – that’s really hard work, to be honest, and that makes it so difficult.
We could’ve done, of course, better in a few moments. I’m not sure if we could have done because of the Wednesday game, but for your most creative football, you need fresh legs and fresh players. But you cannot change a full team because you need rhythm as well. It was a similar game to the Belgrade game, possession-wise it was today a massive number of possession I think.
