Vice-chairman of West Ham United Karren Brady believes that Bayern Munich forward, Sadio Mane’s pedigree and influence on the pitch are transforming The Teranga Lions of Senegal into ‘the lion’s den of African football’ and is looking forward to seeing how Aliou Cisse’s team could live up to big expectation at 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Mane has scored nine goals and registered one assist from 18 games in all competitions for Bayern Munich this season.
In her column for The Sun, Brady lauded Mane’s qualities going into the winter World Cup.
“Sadio Mane’s second place in the FIFA player rankings is another sign that Senegal is fast becoming the Lion’s Den of African football,” Brady wrote.

“It will show whether the growl is bigger than the bite at the World Cup starting next month.
“Mane Is the player with claws– darting, challenging, and quick to expose loose defending. Undoubtedly, he’s the headline act.”

Senegal are in Group A of the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Qatar, Ecuador, and the Netherlands.

@Selfmade frankenstein, You have been cursed for visiting this website. If you continue to come here I will ask Field Marshal to place a fresh curse on you.
Selfmade King you dream with warm cold season or a hunger eagers for a little bit loaf; Ghana can do any thing in this coming World Cup, why? Ghana coaching crew until aren’t doing any change in attacking side with bringing an excellent forwards or playing with excellent attacking style; also Ghana needs change in defensive style with a strong and ferociouness and pressing style.
My boss tia, I ll referred u to all ur comments after Ghana has has shamed all its critics in Qatar!
The good thing about Ghana is that, whenever they estimate us, that’s when we play like there’s no tomorrow! Our group opponents wldnt know what has hit them and believe them, we aren’t only physically play them but spiritually too, we ll work on them brutally!
Any healthy Ghana team is difficult to beat and we are sending a healthy Ghana team to Qatar!
Don’t bet against Ghana
You are still alive?
