Liverpool boss Klopp reveals 'naked' wind up for humble Salah

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says there's no chance of Mohamed Salah getting carried away with the plaudits coming his way.

Klopp believes that team ethic is Liverpool's most ­powerful weapon... and it is a ­belief Salah shares.

“It is a really good group and, with Mo, everyone really likes the hype around him, all the boys," Klopp explained.

“When we came out for the Champions League training before Man City, I said, 'Come on everybody, let's go out naked because no one will realise — they are just looking at Mo.'

"No problem. And Mo is so thankful.

“Now we go to Rome [next Tuesday for the first leg of their semi-final against Roma]. I don't think the hype will be a little bit less. But it is all okay.

“The boys created the atmosphere in the group. In a successful team, there is always a good ­atmosphere. Other teams can have very good ­players, but no group."
