Were you there and heard what they were saying about him? People lose their mind over this type of abuse. Mane could have jumped and kick one or two players like what Cantona or Evra did. Maybe he was trying to restrain himself from getting banned from football and that was the only way he could control himself? We are all human beings. Mane is one our bravest players, when we were losing in the final with Salah out. Didn't he man up?
No I wasn`t there, was you there? Lots of buts and maybes there mate, all we know at the moment is he was booed and he stated crying and fell to the floor. And as for the final, Mr. Sadio did "man up" because I saw it with my own eyes when I was in the ground watching the game.
Come over and have a hug.
Gizza a kiss
You don't get that whole pressure thing though. In Africa, it's much worse than here in Europe. Here in Europe you maybe start calling a player a nutcase when he gets sent off often, or a striker blind, or a goalie t-rex... In Africa, your family gets death threats when you miss a sitter. Paul Doyle wrote about it in the Guardian:
And there are numerous other examples, here from goal.com:
Yep some good info there mate and it is stuff I`m aware of, probably don`t fully understand but certainly aware of. The thing here with Sadio is though all we know is he was booed, we haven`t heard of any threats against him or his family, or campaigns against him certainly nothing sinister. He was booed in a game Senegal won.
