WCQ: I’m really happy for Sadio and I feel for Salah, says Liverpool boss Klopp
Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has revealed that it was difficult watching his two star strikers face-off this week during the World Cup qualifiers.
Klopp was asked about mixed emotions for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in their World Cup play-off meeting.
He said, “I’m really happy for Sadio and I feel for Mo. I don’t think the situation with lasers in the shootout was cool. It’s different when two mates are in such a big game against each other but they are top professionals.
“Emotional but they will deal with it in the right way. Senegal are the best team in Africa and Egypt took them to the wire twice. That is as close as you can get.

“I am not sure they can see it like this but they cannot get closer.”

“I have said already goodbye to Roy and now I say hello again,” Klopp said.
Asked if he will still be managing at the age of 74, Klopp says, “Definitely not but I am not Roy so I don’t know.
“He must have 40 years in management and still looks alright. It is right for him but it will not be right for me.
