MANE & KEITAIT’S SAID THAT SADIO IS SHY, BUT HE IS FULL OF DESIRE
ON THE PITCH. AS HIS BEST FRIEND IN THIS TEAM, IN YOUR
OPINION WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS HE?
NABY: He is humble but he’s also somebody who likes having
fun with people. Everybody likes him because of the way he
carries himself.
Personally I’ve known him since I was at Salzburg and he
is somebody who wants to progress and who is open to
everybody, not just to me because it’s Naby and I’m African.
No, no, no – he’s like that with everyone. What I like about him
is he always wants to improve and that’s why I like being with
him.
WE HAVE SEEN HOW FOOTBALL BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER
- HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING SOMEONE WHO HELPS
TO BRING CULTURES TOGETHER?
SADIO: I think that the world should be full of joy, fraternity
and love for each other. As a football player we should always
be a role-model for those people who follow us, for the young.
They are always watching us and we have to be an example in
a good way because it’s what the world needs.
We’re all human beings and we should learn to share things
and help each other to move forward to change and especially
to make this world better.
NABY: I think the most important thing is we need to be united.
It’s not easy but we have to give a good example on and off the
field. For example, off the field we go to the mosque to pray
and give a good example. If the people see that, I think you’ll
understand because it is the same for all human beings.
SADIO: Football has become a global sport followed by the
whole world. I think it’s something that can change people’s
lives. As footballers it’s important to give our best on the field to
make people feel proud.NABY, IS SADIO GOING TO BE THE FOOTBALLER OF THE
YEAR?
NABY: Yes, of course. If he continues to work the way he is
going now, why not?HOW WOULD YOU BOTH DEFINE JÜRGEN KLOPP IN YOUR
OWN WORDS?
SADIO: He is somebody that is full of life, he is somebody who
makes us all responsible as players, which is very important for
a player on the field.SADIO IS SOMEONE WHO
LIKES TO HELP AND HE’S
GIVEN ME LOTS OF ADVICE
SINCE I’VE BEEN HERE,
ESPECIALLY DURING
TRAINING WHERE WE
WORK A LOT TOGETHER
