I love the clip where el hadji diouf called sadio mane and pass some instruction to him and mane being a listening player went to him…it shows the unity, love and in the senegal football franternity…..
But imagine one of our ex player in the stands call on osimhen for some advice, dude would have yell at him or invited ogun to strike the person right there…
