Ok, Mohamed; we know the team is important – that there are ten others beside you on any given matchday and all that really matters is a Liverpool victory. We also know there are four league games to play – possibly seven in total; we know nothing is settled yet.
Forty goals, though, Mohamed – you’re the fastest player in Liverpool’s history to reach that landmark – what does it mean? “It’s a great feeling. Of course, it’s a great feeling. But you know I said in the end I am happy to score, happy to help the team, that’s it.”
Forty-seven, Mohamed! Forty-seven – that’s Ian Rush’s record in one season: can you do it?
“It’s also very close, it’s just seven goals. But let’s see! It’s still, I don’t know how many games there is to go, but we have the Premier League and semi-finals of the Champions League to play. I will try my best to score again and help the team.”
