​Liverpool boss Klopp: Salah focused on season not awards

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes that his talented winger Mohamed Salah is focused on helping the team for the rest of the season.

While Salah's goalscoring exploits have put him up there with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo in Europe's scoring charts, his priority is always the team.

"There are always personal targets, but the main target for Mo is to finish in the Champions League spots and, in an ideal world, to go to the final – and if you are then there, to win the final," said Klopp to LiverpoolFC.com

"We don't have to think too much about that; it's not that we start now bringing him into situations where he can score. We have to play normal football and in the end, if Mo is at his best, he will be a goal threat at least. If he is in the right positions, he will score or not. That's how it always was.

"Because of the question, you see it has changed already, from outside the view is it is decisive for this or that, but in the end we came here in the position [we are in] because of the football we played, [just] as Mo came here because of the football he played.

"We don't have to change anything, we only have to carry on. For him and for us, it's exactly the same."
