JAKARTA - Bayern Munich player Sadio Mane gave a surprising and strange answer about the best finisher he had ever played with. The reason is, the name mentioned was never expected at all.
Mane moved to Bayern Munich last summer after six brilliant years at Anfield. He became part of the deadly front line alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.
All three led the Reds to win the English Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Premier League Cup, while working together.
Salah, in particular, has made headlines after scoring 174 goals for the club. Not many will deny that the Egyptian was the man Mane chose when asked about the deadly finisher he had ever had, with him.
However, after being questioned by 1teamsports on TikTok social media, it took him a while to provide a surprising answer to everyone.
The player Mane chose was Divock Origi, the striker who also left Merseyside after eight years there. This is surprising because the 27-year-old Belgian rarely gets the confidence to appear regular even though he is often the hero of The Kop because of a number of vital goals.
Despite his record of scoring an incredible goal against his neighbor Everton and scoring an unforgettable goal against Barcelona in the Champions League, Origi has only scored 41 goals in 175 appearances.
Interestingly, Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp, also had the same opinion. He even called Origi a legend on and off the pitch.
"A fantastic footballer, our world-class striker and best finisher. Everyone will say the same. You see this in training," he said.
Since his move from Liverpool, Origi has had a difficult start to living in Italy with AC Milan. He has only scored two goals in 21 games and has recently been named Serie A's worst signing of the season.
