PRESIDENT PRAISES SADIO
Sadio Mane made Senegalese history when he
finished fourth in the 2019 Ballon d’Or voting. It’s
the highest-ever finish by a player from Senegal
and earned him praise from the country’s
president, Macky Sall. “My dear Sadio,” he
tweeted. “By my voice, Senegal expresses
its encouragement and congratulations for
this place in the top four for the Ballon d’Or
- The example of self-sacrifice and of
perseverance that was your creed will allow
you, we’re sure, to conquer this trophy. Bravo!”
