The German added: "He really is in really good shape. Mental-wise and physical-wise it's really good, and for us so important, because, for example, Roberto Firmino now has a problem (injury) after he was in perfect shape.

"He's a brilliant player. (But) this is a game with 11 players. And we come to this. You are interested in one player. Each player had influence. I understand it as a team game. I enjoyed the game of Daniel Sturridge.
