Following the clash between Senegal and Cameroon at the African Cup of Nations, Senegalese star Sadio Mané didn’t mince words when responding to what he regarded as a provocative question from a reporter.
In this crucial match of the tournament, which saw Senegal emerge victorious with a scoreline of 3-1, attention quickly turned to Mané after the final whistle. A comment from a journalist suggesting that his move from Europe to Al Nassr had diminished his international presence sparked an outspoken reaction from the winger, known for his speed and skill.
Sadio Mané, recognized for his professionalism as much as his on-field excellence, sharply retorted, making it clear that he didn’t appreciate the criticism of his career choices. “That’s what you think because I’m not in Europe. It’s sad for you. For you, if we don’t play in Europe, it doesn’t matter,” Mané, who is now a teammate of Ronaldo, shot back.
He went on to praise the Saudi league. “Fortunately, I can say that the Saudi league is a very good league, followed by everyone around the world. So for me, as long as I’m giving my best and enjoying every minute, that’s the most important. The rest, for me, doesn’t matter,” Mané implied.
