It’s not often that one finds full grown men crying, when they do something really serious must have affected them right? Liverpool star Sadio Mane left the pitch in tears after Senegal’s win over Equatorial Guinea, and it has now reportedly been revealed why he broke down at the full-time whistle.
As the referee brought a close to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, the Reds star was seen falling to the ground in tears before being carried off by his teammates.According to the Daily Mail, Mane’s emotional reaction came as a result of his own supporters booing him during the encounter.
In the match itself, the forward had squandered a big chance, which led to a section of the Senegalese supporters expressing their displeasure with the player. Senegalese media outlet Metrodakar insisted there was no injury concern for the forward, whom they claim was just unhappy with the reaction from the supporters.
So there you have it, Sadio Mane was crying because apparently, a section of his home fans hurt his feelings. Though the reason is somewhat unmanly, it really would hurt if the same people you give your all for abuse you for missing one chance.
But, was that a good enough reason for Mane to breakdown in the manner that he did? Let us know in the comments.
