Klopp hails mid-season break

Kane 88 LIVERPOOL: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes a welcome mid-season break has refreshed his side at the perfect time after a 4-1 thrashing of West Ham on Saturday.
“It was intense, it was aggressive, it was angry, it was full of desire. I saw everything I wish to see in a game of football and it’s not often you see that,” said Klopp.
Liverpool spent four days in Marbella after their heroics in Porto as their early exit from the FA Cup ensured a weekend off.
“As a football manager you like it if you can work with your team. If you can prepare a team for each game, it would make football much more attractive if you gave the teams more time to prepare the things,” added Klopp.
Salah continued his incredible scoring streak by netting for the sixth straight game to take his tally for the season to 31 — already equalling Luis Suarez’s best haul for the Reds in the 2013-14 campaign.
“I like Mo’s desire for goals,” Klopp said. “Mo is a boy who is full of greed to score goals.”
Salah also provided the assist for Emre Can to open the scoring from a corner before Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane also got on the scoresheet on another prolific day for Klopp’s front three.
Liverpool have now scored 103 goals in all competitions this season.
