Beyond the great slashes of a goalkeeper, the interventions of a defender or the incredible vision and creative idea of a centre-back or winger, a large number of fans of a team will always see the goalscorer as their main and greatest reference point, a situation that has happened with Liverpool, who despite having overtaken Sadio Mané every time Klopp's team takes to the pitch, in the minds of the Red Devil's fans the essence of the Senegalese is still present.
Just as thousands of Liverpool fans believe that the sale of Sadio Mané to Bayern Munich was the wrong move, there are also some comments within the club that point to the same thing, even making a comparison between Mohamed Slaha and Virgil Van Dijk as two of the team's current leaders who, despite their great performances, have not lived up to the Senegalese's reputation.

After Salah and Van Dijk were not the ideal elements to take over the leadership role from Mané, it is also believed that the signing of Darwin Núñez has been a mistake on the part of Jurgen Klopp in his attempt to try to cover the huge absence left by the former number 10, causing a series of conflicts that conclude with a mistake by the board in giving their coach a power that should not correspond to him at all.
While the African attacker's departure from Liverpool was a blow to everyone at the club, his absence meant that today Klopp and his men have found new strengths and weaknesses to build on this new season, making it clear that the Senegalese and the Anfield team were and would be a winning formula, with the Reds and Mané still in time to unite and turn criticism into praise.
