When explaining how he was able to score 10 goals in 10 matches, Sadeeq Mane said, “I played 10 matches and scored 10 goals. I scored these goals in 8 matches out of the 10 matches I played, which means that I only failed to score in two games.”
He hinged his excellent goal scoring record on the extra-work he does during training and in matches. “I believe that if you want to achieve something in life, you have to go the extra-mile.
“So, I work hard. I mean apart from the normal training I receive from my coaches, every day I do extra training to make sure I am fit.”
“That is the reason I don’t get tired during the games. And that is also the reason I am nicknamed Mane after the former Liverpool and Senegalese star.
