Neco Williams has admitted to Liverpool’s official website that it is very difficult coming up against Sadio Mane in training. The 19-year-old is only just breaking into Liverpool’s first-team.
The youngster has just been rewarded with a new long-term contract at Liverpool, after a fine breakthrough season at Anfield.
And Williams feels that his development is aided as he is constantly having to face up against Mane in training.
“Most sessions I do at Melwood, I am up against Sadio,” he said.
“Because in the teams we do, we have the starting team and the other team, and mostly every session when we have games back to back – a game always around the corner – I’m always up against Sadio.
“So, every session, it is difficult for me because I am up against one of the best wingers in the world, so I think that has definitely improved me as a player.
“I don’t think there is any other way of becoming a better player than coming up against the best wingers in the world.”
