Well deserved.

Shabbily treated at Liverpool in my opinion.

Sometimes the effect of humility.

Congratulations Mane.

Isn't this yarn getting stale?
Even the agent of mane has debunked that statement of yours!

FIFA is too bias. I expected Ronaldo to won this award.

Im disappointed in FIFA and I call on world leaders to investigate this award.

Ronaldo remains the best plater in the world.

No matter what I congratulations the winner.

Well deserved

Correct!!
Well deserved

Mane baba … congrats!

His agent might say anything but the fact remains that there are so many Liverpool and Manchester United players who earned significantly more than Mane despite being a household name.

Imagine the likes of Lidelof, Van der Beek and even Fred earning higher than Mane.
Lindelof - 120k
Van der Beek 120k
Fred 120k.

At Liverpool, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabinho and Firminho to name a few, were earning more than Mane.

Mane at Liverpool 100k
Oxlade-Chamberlain 120k
Fabinho 180k
Firminho 180k

Note none of these selected names were close to the top 3 highest earners in their respective clubs.

When gala came out

Sadio Mane is an excellent player on and off the ball. Able to make defence splitting passes and dangerous crosses. Knows when to stray out wide and when to cut in middle. Great at both left and right foot. Versatile overall, able to drift into CAM and CF during the absence of Firmino.

The thing about Mane that stands out for me is that all his attributes that make him a good player, comes from his teammates. He will be my definition of “Team Player”. Sure, he doesn’t have a range of tricks like Neymar or close control like Messi, but he can make runs like no other. Mane’s off the ball work rate is outstanding. He can play both directly and indirectly. Most importantly, he is able to track back and help with the defence when needed.

When Mane is playing with a team with players like Firmino and Salah, he can only be so good. He is only as good as the team he will be playing. He definitely isn’t a game changer, but he isn’t too quiet either. I would not say he is overrated, but I would not say he is underrated as well.

Anyway, this answer is my personal opinion.

Is African player of the year na given in July?

Very boring event

I have carefully read your analysis but you are far from the truth and unaware of how these things work!
Most of the salaries you see were either agreed salaries or contractual renewals like that of Fabinho and Firmino by their agents!
In 2016,When Mane was bought from southampton,he and his agents agreed an 80k per week salary(which was normally salaries for upcoming players)
By 2017,due to his devastating and red hot form,liverpool offered him an extended contract and the agent of mane AGREED an improved salary of 100k per week....
This would have been the opportunity for mane's agents to negotiate a better pay based on the huge value of mane.....but the agent agreed on it and it was signed!
The persons you should be blaming is mane and his agent for not negotiating a better pay like that of firmino and Fabinho agents that got an upgraded salary for their clients after the club offered them a contract renewal!
If i was mane.i would have fired those agents!

It's for last yr, couldn't hold last yr cos of covid

He is also a patriotic and generous man within and outside the field of play. Gentle man even in the midst of profocation by ruthless defenders. He like his national team very well and respect his colleagues on the field of play. He deserves it for the second time

He is the best.

Well deserved

Congrats to him
