🗣 Sadio Mané 🇸🇳: "I remember my first day arriving in France to take tests and sign with FC Metz. I was expected to start training right away, but the coach told me to stay home. I didn't have any phone credit to call my mother and inform her that I was in France. "The next day, I went with some friends who were already in Metz to buy phone cards so I could call her. I said, 'Hello mom, I'm in France.' She replied, 'What, which France?' She couldn't believe it! I answered, 'France in Europe.' She responded, 'What do you mean Europe? You live in Senegal; you should be with your uncle.' I explained, 'Yes, but now I'm in Europe.' "She was amazed; it was surreal! She was so surprised that she called me every day to see if it was true. She didn't completely believe me until one day I told her to watch TV to see me play. That’s when she finally understood that my dream had come true."
