Sadio Mané (30) has no end of self-confidence – not only on the football field, but also on other stages. The newcomer will soon be singing the obligatory debut song in front of the entire team, and he is not afraid of it. “I don’t have a specific song yet, but a few in the repertoire,” Mané said in an interview on the Bayern website: “I’ll think again at home and choose the best one to perform as a great singer in front of the boys.”
Big singer? This performance could be amusing. The Champions League winner has proven often enough in England at Liverpool in recent years that Mané is a great player. Ex-coach Jürgen Klopp paid tribute to the Senegalese again, saying: “What a player, a world-class player. Also a Liverpool legend, one of the all-time greats in the Premier League, I would say, with the numbers he has. And also a fantastic human being.” More praise is hardly possible.
At Bayern’s first training session, Mané was already cheered on by the young fans behind the fence on the club grounds, who kept calling his name. “It was very good. I enjoyed it and so did the other guys,” said the attacker. Mané has what it takes to be a crowd pleaser. Striking: During the first units, Mané acted as a leader, he gave loud instructions and joked with his colleagues. He often sought contact with Alphonso Davies (21), ran alongside the young Canadian during sprint training and did strength exercises with him.
The competition in the Bundesliga and Champions League is not to be envied, because Mané and Davies will form the most dynamic duo in the world in the future. Although Mané can play offensively in any position, he prefers to attack from the left flank. There whirls at Bayern Davies, who has already been flashed at more than 37 km / h. It was not for nothing that Thomas Müller (32) gave him the nickname “Roadrunner”. Mané is not quite as fast as Davies in terms of top speed, but is extremely explosive when accelerating.
If you consider that the sprinters Kingsley Coman (26), Serge Gnabry (26) and Leroy Sané (26) also belong to the Munich offensive, you can only wish the opponents good luck. Coach Julian Nagelsmann is now in the process of finding a suitable system in which all the speed and individual class come into their own. Much depends on whether Robert Lewandowski (33) moves to FC Barcelona. Mané and Gnabry would be options up front, but Bayern prefer a classic nine and are looking for alternatives.
In terms of profile, Tottenham’s Harry Kane (28) would be an ideal fit, but with a market value of 90 million euros (contract until 2024), the Englishman would hardly be affordable this summer. 2023 sooner. “Kicker” also reports on Bayern’s interest in Kane. Uruguayan Luis Suárez (35) and Edinson Cavani (35) are already available on a free transfer. Advantage of the formation with a centre-forward: Mané and Davies could attack together on the left flank.
The new superstar is already looking forward to the start of the season. “I’ve played in this big stadium before. Now, with the support of the fans behind us, we want to achieve our goals,” said Mané. But first we sing.
