AFCON 2021: Mane exposes what Senegal gamers told him after Egyptâ $ s Gabaski saved his penalty

Senegal forward, Sadio Mane has actually revealed what his fellow colleagues informed him after Egypt goalkeeper, Gabaski, saved his penalty during his side’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) last victory against the Pharaohs on Sunday night.

Mane squandered the chance to put the Lions of Teranga into the lead when his seventh minute charge was conserved by Gabaski.

The AFCON last ended 0-0 after 120 minutes, and after Egypt had missed 2 of their kicks, the Liverpool star summoned the guts to step forward and fired the winner for Senegal.

Speaking at his post-match interview, Mane said that his Senegal teammates informed him to keep on going, adding that he has done excessive for them.

“When I missed out on the first charge, it was a huge blow for me,” Mane stated.

“But my teammates came to me and stated ‘Sadio, we lose together and we win together. We know you. You’ve done too much for us, continue going’.

“That made me more powerful and I believe it made the distinction when I got the second one.

“All the boys concerned me and said ‘Sadio, we trust you’ which offered me more motivation. The trophy belongs to the entire Senegal group; everybody deserves it,” he said.
