Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic admits he sees Mohamed Salah as a role model.

Bajcetic appreciates Salah's commitment to his profession.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "I admire players that have a lot of discipline. I think it's something that is difficult.

"For example, in the team Mo [Salah] is very disciplined. He always eats the right things, he's always in the gym.

"In the days that there's a tough session and you are very, very tired, those days are the ones where 90 per cent of people say, 'OK, this was a tough session. I'm going home to rest.' He doesn't. He just goes to the gym, does what he has to do, even though he doesn't want to.

"That's something that I have to learn from him. Because I think on the pitch I have a lot of discipline because on the pitch I'm so competitive, I'm the opposite of lazy on the pitch.

"But outside of the pitch there are days where I need to be stronger mentally and say, 'OK, I don't want to do it but it's part of the job.'"

He also said: "Something that I would love to achieve is to win a trophy.

"[It's] something that I've seen when I was [in] the Academy when they won the two cups [during 2021-22]. But I wasn't in the squad to enjoy it.

"Especially with this city, with the fans, it's something I'm looking to give to them a trophy. I don't care which one. Any trophy is very important for the fans and it keeps the team positive.

"That's something that I would love to achieve here."
