Liverpool assistant coach Pepjin Lijnders is full of praise for attacker Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian has continued his remarkable consistency in front of goal this season.
Salah was huge for the Reds in a 3-1 win over West Ham United in the Premier League at the weekend.
On Salah, Lijnders stated: “He's breaking record after record. We have a very, very special player on our hands. A mentor as well, a leader.
“You guys see the skill and all the things, I see him in the building, I see him in the gym, I see him coming in early. I see a real professional with a lot of experience and I see a man who can lead this team without being the captain, and he does that.
“It's special that he's with us, it's special how he's doing it. Every game he plays at Anfield, every game he plays away for our away supporters, we should cherish these players.
“He's this guy who, out of nothing, can create a lot, and he does that time and time again.
“Mo is just an excellent, excellent person. I spoke yesterday with him and I said, 'I love it when you smile, Mo.' Because when he smiles in the building and outside, I know that the ball will smile as well and he will decide the games for us. That's quite important."
