Liverpool surprise dressing room leader emerges and who gives 'pep talk' before games

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he's 'never been in doubt' about the leadership qualities of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita - despite them not being the most vocal members of the squad.

Both Keita and Salah are captains of their respective national teams and the latter will captain Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations final against Senegal this evening.

Mane has also been integral for his nation this tournament and registered a goal and an assist against Burkina Faso earlier in the week to secure their spot in the final showpiece.
