Jurgen Klopp feels people "obviously forget" the work Sadio Mane does on the pitch amid scoring goals.
The Senegal international netted his 100th goal for the Reds during the club's 3 - 0 win over Crystal Palace.
Klopp claims Mane is a "top player" and seemingly hopes that people will remember not only the attacker's goals but also pressing, defending and unselfish play around the box.
“He did, he did [contribute so much]. People obviously forget but around these 100 goals he worked incredibly hard, defended for us the wing, pressed high, counter-pressed, created goals, set up chances, all that kind of stuff,” said the German boss.
“So the 100 goals are just one number, there are so many other numbers which are similarly important, but I’m really happy for him that he could reach that today.”
“Yeah, a massive achievement. In the glorious history of this club only 18 players – if that is right – scored 100 goals, that says a lot. Nowadays players are usually not that long in clubs so I am really happy that I could work now already for five years with Sad and he’s just a top player.”
