The Mané from the other side of the field

Last update 22 June, 2022 by Alberto Llopis

There are many footballers who, beyond the playing fields, are involved in social work, with greater or lesser impact. But if there is a player who is lately on everyone's lips for it, that is Sadio Mane. And we are facing one of those footballers with a more than interesting personal history off the field.

Senegalese is everywhere, long before the announcement of his recent signing in the FC Bayern Munich. In the last month, the footballer of 30 years and one of the best paid, has revolutionized the networks by changing a cruise in Bali for a mud-stained match in his homeland.

Back to the source with a gala match on the Bambaly pitch where it all started !!!
A big thank-you 🙏 to my brothers @papissdembaciss @mbayediagne909 Désiré Segbé and without forgetting my lifelong idol, sacred El Hadj Diouf 😁🦁 pic.twitter.com/H92z2Ml7Ig

Mane, a different footballer off the field

Far from what other celebrities show in their official accounts, Mane has decided to choose to show his most human side by moving to Eternal, the town of his childhood. There he played a charity friendly in the middle of the mud. A very unsuitable terrain for this sport that the player himself has promised to remodel and convert into a grass field..

A visit to their place of origin to recharge their batteries and proudly show off the African Cup with their team. far from bragging, the objective of the new signing of Julian Nagelsmann was to share the trophy with his compatriots and friends.

Committed to his community

A gesture that is not surprising coming from Mane. The striker has always been closely linked to his hometown and very committed to the situation there. Since he took flight to start his football career, the money has not stopped arriving and he has invested it in those who saw him born, grow up and become the star you are today.

In recent years he has built a hospital, a service station, a post office, a school…And as if that were not enough, donate around 70 euros monthly to each family. Definitely Sadio Mane has managed to transform his hometown, in a whole city. Definitely, an example beyond the green.
