Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane: Why Ronaldinho my inspiration

Liverpool attacker Sadio Mane admits he draws inspiration from Ronaldinho.

Mane has been outstanding for the Reds since his £30 million move from Southampton last summer.

"Some people say I do not smile enough. I think it's wrong. I usually smile and laugh on the training pitch, I enjoy football," Mane told the club's official magazine.

"Ronaldinho always did and I always tried to copy him. I think that football players have lots of reasons to smile.

"We have a fantastic job that everyone would like to have. "
