Senegalese international striker Sadio Mané has not started his pre-season with Al-Nassr in the best possible way.
On Sunday, Al-Nassr began its pre-season with a match against Louletano, a resident of the Portuguese fourth division. The opportunity for Sadio Mané to make his comeback after a few weeks of vacation. And the least we can say is that the 32-year-old winger still had numb legs.
In the clouds
Because, if he gave Mohammed Marran a decisive pass, allowing the Yellow and Blue to equalize after the return from the break, the Lion Senegalese (107 caps, 43 goals) missed the opportunity to put his team ahead on the scoreboard by missing a penalty. Indeed, in the absence of the regular shooter Cristiano Ronaldo, still on vacation, the former Metz player sent his shot over. A big moment of solitude for the main person concerned. Final score: 1-1.
The right-hander who played for Liverpool will have the opportunity to rectify the situation during Al-Nassr’s upcoming warm-up matches. Currently in the middle of an Iberian tour, the Saudi Arabian vice-champion will face Maritimo on Friday, then Farense, the club of Algerian Bachir Belloumi, on Saturday, before going on to face Portimonense, Porto and Lusitani on 24, 28 and 30 July respectively.
Sadio Mané’s last season, his first in the Gulf after a casting error at Bayern Munich, saw the 2021 African champion score 19 times and deliver 11 offerings in 46 appearances. Recently, rumors had circulated about a Potential return of the right-hander to RB Salzburga club he knew at the start of his career. But in all likelihood, he is well on his way to staying in the Middle East.
