Giving Back
When asked why he lived so meagerly compared to his teammates, Sadio’s answer made people finally understand what truly made him great. He said, “I don’t need to show off fancy cars, big houses, travel, or airplanes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me”.
Rather than spending outrageous amounts of money on himself, people learned Sadio Mané had instead been using his money to build schools, hospitals, electricity connections, football grounds, and to provide internet connectivity to his village back in Senegal.
