Considered as one of the best players in the world and Africa's finest footballer. I think Sadio Mane is one of those few players that's proven that Africans players are not just brawn but brain, he's defined a basic prerequisite through which Success can be defined and the 27 year old Senegalese who started his career at a Senegalese football academy called Academies, his career, spaninng through to metz, Salzburg, Southampton and then Liverpool. He's a footballer who's gradually graduate from being an amazing player to an exceptional and great player. Just days ago he was crowned African best player and it's been more than deserved. In recent times African players find it difficult to stay at the top of the summit of world football and when you look at how Sadio Mane has beaten the odds it makes you realise he's just a special player.

I look at people like John Obi Mikel, Emmanuel Adebayor, Yakubu Aiyegbeni who once played at Everton, I notice that these guys hardly stayed top for a long time, they were once household name but that consistency to stay top without going on a downward spiral is the reason why they don't win awards like world best. But if you've followed Sadio Mane right from his Southampton days you'll know he's a player with a beautiful future and fast forward to his Liverpool days now he's close to winning it all. At 27 I won't rule out the possibilities of him going on to win the ballon D' or, he's got about 6 to 7 years to still play top flight football and this is a long time to unlock more trophies and more awards.

Sadio is a winner, he's resilient someone that embodies trickery and guile as well as the nose for really audacious goals I won't forget his 176 seconds record breaking hattrick against Aston Villa playing for Liverpool and when I look at him he's someone who has made impact for Liverpool more than any other player in four years and when you look at his stats, this definitely proves it. Sadio is humble to the core, a player that's dedicated to achieving Liverpool's dreams rather than his. He's a player that's naturally loveable, I'm really not a Liverpool fan but you can't hate Sadio Mane. I was looking through his video clips and I feel he's More than a winger, the way he drives through any midfield is Hazard-esque. His champions league goal against Bayern Munich In Liverpool's Champions League winning season, it defied the odds it was a lovely chip that beat Manuel Neuer. And for me name wrote his name in folklore.

I don't actually see Sadio Mane going to Real Madrid or Barcelona or any other club, he's an epitome of loyalty and if Liverpool will have him till he's probably 35 then he'll be happy to play at Anfield, if not he's still do big things expecially in a club as Barcelona or Juventus. You can't just but love Mane, he's that type of player that even though he's playing against your team which you support you still love him, he's earned this love like players like Ricardo Kaka, Ronaldoinho, Delima Ronaldo who you just can't hate no matter the side or country they're playing for. Needless to say, he's one player that's carried Liverpool and when he's not scoring, he's making chances for the other players like Salah to come in an do well and it's been a long time since one can say Sadio Mane has had a bad game.
