A few days after winning the African player of the year award,Sadio Mane has come open on his relationship with Mohammed Salah. Salah who hails from Egypt and Eduard Mendy of Senegal were also nominated for the award but Mane finally won Africa's most prestigious award. Before, signing for Bayern Munich ahead of next season, both Salah and Mane were playing and wingers at Liverpool. A lot of questions have been asked on the relationship status of the two top players both as team mates and as competitors when they come back fro international duties.
Some time back there is a clip of a game which showed that Mane was angered at Salah during a game. This is after Salah failed to pass him the ball though he was unmarked and in a good position to score. However, according to Sadio Mane, people might be saying that they have rivalry with Salah but this is not true."Sadio Mané: "People sometimes say there's a rivalry between me and Mo (Salah), but you know I don’t see myself having a rivalry with any player, to be honest," Mane said.
Mane instead blames the media for bringing up things that are not true and making people believe them. He says that they always talk with Salah even over the phone when they are not close to one another."We have good relations, we text each other. I think the media always try to [aggravate] things. You know I don’t just have relationships with one player, but with every player, I’ve played with in the world. You can ask whoever you want in the club, or wherever I go. I have good relationships with all players," Mane told the Media. This comes after Senegal thrashed Egypt at the AFCON finals and again blocked them from participating in the 2022 Qatar world cup.
