Senegal coach: “Sadio Mane is one of the best in world”

Senegal coach Aliou Cisse has stated that Liverpool winger Sadio Mane is one of the best players in the world. Senegal will play their first match since 2002 in World Cup against Poland on Wednesday. "Mane is unique and cannot be compared to any other Senegal player. He can make the difference," Cisse, 42, said. "He's already one of the best - you can't say he's not. He plays for one of the most iconic clubs, one of the best in Europe, and he's top-notch for them. "He's absolutely unique because he is so unpredictable, that's what makes him great." "Despite everything that has happened for him over the last two years, he hasn't changed - he's just as humble as he was when I first met him at the 2012 Olympics," Cisse said. Mane is Liverpool’s one of the best players. His goal against Real Madrid saw Liverpool make Champons League history with three players reaching double figures in the competition. Mane became the first player from his country to have netted in a Champions League final, and can take pride in that. So expectations from him are high.
