“Even when I was injured, I was always working hard.” — Sadio Mane Quote

Even when I was injured, I was always working hard.

When you see the rival make a certain pass, you don't need to look behind you. You know 100 per cent that all your teammates will go with you.

It was a normal childhood, like the childhoods of all children my age: going to school, playing in the street with friends, spending time at home with my family.

I never doubted how I could help the team, and I never stopped working hard every day in training.

When I was three or four, only football was in my head. I went 10 years, and nothing changed - only football, football, football. The strange thing is, nobody played football in my family before.

I've never pulled out of a fight, never not showed up to fight, so injured or not, I'm coming.

To be honest with you, it really doesn't get me excited to see anybody get injured.

There are very few dance companies in the world and you have to be phenomenal. You have to not be injured. You have to have a really strong mind to deal with the dance world. People who can do it are amazing to me. You cannot have a life outside of dance.

If you do not have good shoes, you can get injured.

If somebody is injured, it is a chance to show what you can do as a team; to show that you are a team. You might have difficult moments when you are without an important player but you just have to think, 'OK, we need to work together now.'
