 | Mane explained about the video in which clean toilets in a mosque17-12-2018 |
In September, a video appears on the internet showing Liverpool`s star, Sadio Mane, helping clean the mosquito`s mosquito nets. The video has gained great popularity and the player has received many praise for his modesty. He spoke to the French Team for the video in question.
I am a Muslim. Please five times a day. When I can, I do it in the mosque. Once I went there and came to my very good friend in Ghana. I invited him to have tea at home afterwards, but he replied:No, I have to work. I have to wash the mosquito toilets. I told him we were going to do it. At this point somebody shot us and I asked him not to upload it on the internet. He swore he would not, but the next day he was on the net. This is not very serious, Senegal said.
They wanted to understand why he wanted to help others. This is normal for me. I come from a small village. My father was in the village and died when I was 11. I was raised by my mother, my uncle and my grandmother. When I was young, I worked on fields with rice and peanuts. I keep doing it when I go home every summer. In the village modesty is an important value:we do not speak and listen to older people when they talk, Mane explained. With this in mind, it was strange to the Team that his idol was the more confident El-Hadji Diouf. Yes, I often talk to him, and he encouraged me to be more confident. I listened to him and drew the positives of what he said. But I do not like being the center of attention. I believe we have to accept people as they are with their qualities and shortcomings. I have no immense ego. Modesty does not hinder me because it does not stop me from being very ambitious. I understand that in order to reach a high level, you have to sacrifice many things and be demanding of anything related to food, rest and discipline, the wing said.
At the end of the interview, he also talked about the construction of a school in his native village he finances. This is a project that is close to my heart. The construction started this summer and every two weeks I get photos showing the development of work. I hope it will be ready within a month. You know that in Africa, governments often forget about the villages. When I lived in Bambali (my native village, I had only one wish - to go to Dakar to become a professional footballer. Now I want the teenagers who grow up in Bambali to stay there, `he added.
