“He [Mane] wasn’t angry because Mo [Salah] came on, he wasn’t happy because maybe he didn’t stay the pitch until after the free-kick,” Klopp told BT Sport.
“You can’t play football like this if you’re just a soldier and do everything the bosses say, they are doing what I say, but they’re citizenry and react in a specific way.
“After the sport, Sadio was completely fine, it’s all good.”
