Salah Grateful For Diogo Jota

The Egyptian star says their new addition is making life easier
for the front three.

For three seasons now, the combination of Sadio Mane, Roberto
Firmino and Mohamed Salah has lit European football alight with
their intelligent, clinical and lightning fast performances. When
Diogo Jota joined the team from Wolves, it seemed hard to imagine a
consistent starting spot for him.

But then Jota scored and kept scoring and kept scoring. In fact,
he’s scored eight times in his first 12 appearances for the Reds,
including bagging a European hat trick.

When asked about the player who took his place against Leicester City on Sunday, Salah said he welcomes the
contribution.

“We are happy for him,” he said. “As team-mates we are trying to push
each other every day in training, so to see someone come in and
score goals you feel also happy for him because you feel he is
going to help your team and to make it easier for us up front.

“Hopefully that will happen again and again and again. Scoring a
few goals is a good way for him to start here maybe with
confidence.

“To have someone else who can score goals is a great option for
us. Now with Diogo we can play four together or we could still play
three.”

Klopp seems eager to test out a 4-2-3-1 in order to accommodate
all four attackers in his team. If they can make it work, their
dangerous attacking trio could become an even more lethal
foursome.
