A slip in standards was apparent last time out for the Senegalese, who recorded one of his worst tallies in his career at Anfield so far.
Sadio Mane is “passionately disappointed” over his form in the 2020-21 season for Liverpool.
Mane had been one of the most influential players for Liverpool ever since his arrival to the club from Southampton in 2016, but that wasn’t the case in the previous campaign.
The forward was rather ineffective in the final third of the pitch, failing to hit the 20-goal mark – something he had done in each of his previous three seasons for the Reds.
This time, though, he is determined to up his game and reach a level he hasn’t reached in his entire career, with the 29-year-old targeting triple digits in goals.
“I want to score goals, and set up team-mates, even to score 30 goals,” Mane told Liverpool’s official matchday programme.
“Why not? The more the better as far as I’m concerned and my ambition for the team is to win trophies. Everybody is hungry for that.
“I was so disappointed with last season, and passionately so, as I thought I could have done more. Whereas I might have been scoring between 18 and 22 goals a season, then on that occasion it was no longer the case so, of course, I was going to be disappointed.
“In football, things move on very quickly and people forget the past. It’s a shame, but that’s how it is. People aren’t always talking about what we have won up to today, and there’s no excuse for relaxing in pursuits of our goals.
“Of course, the experiences of last season have given all of us even more motivation, and all of us are really fired up to have a terrific season this time around.”
