Liverpool boss Klopp: Salah a boy at Chelsea; but a man with us

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says there's an easy explanation over Mohamed Salah's success compared with his time at Chelsea.

Salah scored twice in victory over Southampton on Saturday.

Klopp says Salah was a 'kid' at Chelsea... now he's a 'man'.

“He's completely relaxed. For sure he wanted to show a little bit he's better than that, but everyone knew it already," said Klopp.

“A little bit less muscle, a little bit less physical, and you fly through the Premier League – not like he's flying now – but one body check, you understand. With his body shape that's now different. “He's a man now, he was a kid at Chelsea, now he's a man. That's good."
