Sadio Mane’s 2020/21
Liverpool as a squad had a pretty poor 2020/21 overall.
This, of course, was partly due to the serious injury woes they suffered throughout the squad during the Covid-19-hit campaign.
But even without injuries a couple of Liverpool stars did underperform somewhat across the season.
One of which was Sadio Mane who, despite hitting 11 goals and eight assists in the league, did have a pretty poor campaign by his standards.
Mane was seemingly aware of this himself as he would undergo tests to check that nothing was physically wrong with him.
Mane backs himself to improve
Now, Mane has recently been speaking about his poor 2020/21 and how much more refreshed he is after a decent break this summer.
When asked if he is feeling in better shape this season, the African stated:
‘Yeah, sure. I think it’s always important as a player to have a break because I can say since I came to Liverpool this was the first time I have had four weeks or more holidays, so I think that sometimes helps a lot.
‘I could see from day one that everybody was looking sharp, which for me was unbelievable! I am not complaining about having one week or two weeks’ holiday, but I think it’s always extra [helpful] for us to have this long period of holiday.
‘At the same time we have been working in individual training [during the summer], which is also important because you could see from day one that everybody was looking sharp and ready to go for the new season.’
Then, when discussing his exploits from last campaign, he admitted that it was not his best season before backing himself to improve this time around:
‘Well, I think like I said at the beginning, and when I said it, I meant it, for sure. It was not my best season, which I know.
‘Like I always said, it can happen in football but I think it won’t be the same [next] season. For sure, I am more ready, mentally, physically, everything, so I think it will be for myself an exciting season.’
