Sadio Mane reveals why warm weather training camps are so important

Sadio Mane has explained the benefits of Liverpool’s warm-weather training camp in Dubai last week.

The Reds travelled to Dubai after beating Crystal Palace 4-3 to recharge and recuperate for the next batch of Premier League fixtures after the gruelling festive fixture list was completed.

Liverpool play Leicester City at Anfield on Wednesday evening and will be hoping to continue their winning form and make it 20 wins in the league this season.

The No.10 told Liverpoolfc.com: “It was really cool. It was not the best weather ever, but compared to Liverpool it was much, much better!

“Of course we would love to play in the FA Cup but if not, it’s part of football and you have to accept it. The four-day trip was very important for the team.

“Take the example of last year – we had new players like Mo [Salah] and Virgil [van Dijk]. Especially Virgil, he [grew] so close to everybody, it was very important for us and for him as well to be involved more in the team. After Dubai, it looked like he had already been with us here for three or four years.

“This year we had more new players than last year. It’s very important. Here, you don’t have time to go out together. This kind of [trip] helps us to talk about different things, not only football.

“It was very nice. This kind of period always makes everybody closer, making more of an affinity. It’s important for the team.”
