Liverpool supervisor Juergen Klopp encouraged forward Sadio Mane to control his feelings when rivals attempt to wrap him up and "take care of them" with the nature of his football.
Arsenal supervisor Mikel Arteta during Liverpool's 4-0 success last end of the week after the Arsenal seat pursued for move to be made against Mane for his aeronautical test on Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Klopp said resistance players frequently attempt to offend Mane, who has scored nine goals for Liverpool in 17 games in all contests this season.
"It has been a thing for significantly longer," Klopp told British media on Friday. "In any event, when it was not clear to the outside, you can see it in games that they go for him since they need to wrap him up.
"However, it is two distinct things; one is to make Sadio really forceful during the game, we saw that against Flamengo in the (2019) Club World Cup last.
"Rafinha needed to go for him after he caused them a few issues when we played Bayern (Munich) in the Champions League (in 2019). It was clear from the principal second when he went in really hard."
Klopp said he has addressed Mane concerning how to manage such circumstances.
"Sadio is currently of an age where he isn't that passionate any longer. Be that as it may, we as a whole need feelings clearly and in some cases we control them better and at times less," Klopp added.
"We've had these discussions... The feature (from our conversations) is: 'We take care of with football. Whatever we do, we take care of them with football."
