Sadio Mane hungry for more silverware

Sadio Mane hungry for more silverware

Sadio Mane has vowed that he and his teammates at Liverpool will not stop winning trophies following their coronation as Premier League champions. Mane won a fourth major trophy with Liverpool in a little over 12 months last Thursday.

The Senegalese Premier League glory adds to the 2019’s Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup triumphs and ends the club’s 30-year wait for domestic supremacy.

But while acknowledging the moment as ‘special and unique’, Mane has immediately set his sights on achieving further success.

He told Liverpoolfc.com that it is a special moment for him in his career.

“It has been a long [time], waiting for the title and finally we got it and you can see how happy the players, the staff, the manager, [the people] around the club, all over the world the supporters are. It’s just an incredible moment and now we have to enjoy this moment and at the same time make sure we are ready for the next games.

The 28-year-old Senegal captain admits he was a little nervous watching the game between Chelsea and Manchester City.

“When we were watching the game it was a little bit nervous, especially myself because usually when I’m supporting a team I get nervous! I always struggle to watch football games… [but] when Chelsea scored everybody was celebrating. It was just a good night, an incredible night and to be honest it was a special day again.

“I always say that dreams are allowed and for sure last year we went really, really close: one point, but at the same time I can say congratulations for City because they for sure deserved it and won it and that’s part of football. We showed this year great character and from the beginning we have been really, really consistent, which is really important for the team who has a dream and the team who wants to win something. For sure we showed it from the beginning until the end and the gap was so big for us. It’s just an incredible moment for us.

Last season, Liverpool narrowly lost the title to Manchester City but Mane admits that the victory this time makes it even sweeter.

“Yeah, that’s why this one is really, really unbelievable. The way we have been so close and the next season we come from the beginning, being consistent and having this big gap, I think this is just belief and at the same time we are showing great character and the feeling that everything is possible in football.

“I think this is another step of all of us in our career for what we want to achieve, because as football players you have to be always professional and always hungry in a good way to win everything. I think we have a great team, great staff and the club is amazing, so we have another step and big things to achieve so we won’t stop here. We just have to believe in ourselves still and keep working harder and be humble for sure – work hard and try to achieve bigger and bigger things with this club,” he concluded.
