Senegal's Sadio Mane makes stunning contract admission following AFCON trauma
Sadio Mane was willing to sign a contract accepting responsibility for his own death before playing with a concussion at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The goalkeeper picked up a red card for the head-on-head challenge, and was later seen on a stretcher,After his goal though, he then hit the ground again, before being substituted off with a suspected concussion.The Senegal star claims the Reds wrote to FIFA saying a concussion needs five days rest, which would have taken him out of a quarter-final tie against Equatorial Guinea.
“But when I had the concussion, I think it was when I went back to the hotel and came back, I was scared. “He said: ‘OK we’ll try to talk to the doctor’ and I called the president of the federation, I called Abdoulaye Sow, I told him we have to plan a meeting because for me it’s important to play at the CAN. The CAN for me is… I could even give up my life!”
Mane said: “I was ready, they had a meeting for one hour, the president of the federation, Abdoulaye Sow, the coach and the doctor, I said ‘Listen to me, I know I shouldn’t play, no problem, Liverpool did this and that, now give me a contract to sign. I want to take my responsibility, I will sign, if I die, they just have to say it’s my fault, no one [else’s] fault.
