Liverpool star underwent tests to find reason for ‘worst season’ ever | OneFootball

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane is well aware he isn’t playing as well as he typically does this season and has offered a scathing critique of his own performances.

Speaking to French outlet Canal +, the Senegal international explained he isn’t sure why he’s out-of-form this term.

“This is the worst season of my career. I have to admit it,” Mane said, before scoring in the 2-0 win over Southampton last weekend.

“If you ask me what is wrong I will struggle to give you an answer. Personally, I don’t know. I have always tried to be positive, whether things are going well or badly. I question myself all the time.

“I even underwent a test to take a look at my body. Am I eating the right foods, or has everything changed? But they checked the test results, and everything is fine.

“I need to understand that in life there are ups and downs. I will keep on working hard – and perhaps in time this situation will pass.”

We at Empire of the Kop feel quite bad for Sadio – that he thought there must be something wrong with his body, so he underwent a test to find a non-existent problem.

Mane isn’t alone in underperforming this season, with only Mo Salah, Andy Robertson and perhaps Fabinho the only players standing out.

As a matter of near-fact, Liverpool will be back to their best next season – with fans back inside Anfield and Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson all fit again – and that includes Mane, who is undoubtedly still one of the best players in the world.
