Mohamed Salah's new Liverpool position explained by Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has revealed Mohamed Salah has had to adapt to a new position at Liverpool this season, writes Mirror. Salah, who scored 44 goals in 52 appearances last season, has been playing as a center forward. "He had to adapt a bit to a slightly different position," said Klopp ahead of his side's Boxing Day game against Newcastle. "It's not that much different, but it is different. We need his link-up play, but he is still with the desire and the speed over the first few yards. He's impressive, and a very important part of our finishing situations. "Of course he's young enough to involve a lot more things in his style of play. It's not just speed, it's not just finishing, it's a lot of things, between the lines and keeping the ball. "But you need your body for that and that was a the problem. At the start of the season, part of Mo's body was not perfect. If you work in an office, if your shoulder is not 100 per cent and it is not your writing hand, then you're okay. "But if you're a footballer, you have to wait until it's 100 per cent. But we knew he was still a world-class player but we had to wait a little bit. It's all good." In the game against Wolves on December 22nd, Salah opened the score and now he has scored 11 goals so far in 18 matches of Premier League.
