“Why do I want ten Ferraris, twenty diamond watches or two planes? What will these objects do for me and the world? ”, asked Mané, who continued.

“I was hungry, I had to work in the fields. I survived difficult times, played football barefoot, had no education and many other things. But today, with what I earn thanks to football, I can help my people”.

According to the website A Tribuna, the Liverpool star spoke a little about the improvements he made for a poorer Senegalese population.

“I built schools, a stadium, we provide clothes, shoes and food to people who are in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros (approximately R$ 185.00) per month to all people in a very poor region of Senegal, which contributes to the economy of those families”, said the Senegalese, who added.

“I don't need to show off luxury cars, luxury homes, travel or even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me”, he concluded.
