Khaled Al-Nama, spokesperson for the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, responsible for organizing the World Cup in Qatar, tweeted a series of tweets on his official Twitter account, telling an exciting story about Senegalese star Sadio Mane.
Al-Nama says that his purpose in this testimony is that "Sadio Mane does not receive his share of appreciation, and I hope to contribute to giving him the value he deserves, and that this story will help us all to do good."
And he continues in his "testimony" that "in the winter of 2019, the Club World Cup competitions in Doha were almost over after Flamengo and Liverpool qualified for the final (the competition) on December 21 (of the same year)."
He continues that he received a phone call from a foreign journalist who asked him to create a "WhatsApp group that brings together me, Mane and a representative of Liverpool, with the aim of coordinating the creation of a small mosque, provided that it is not overcrowded and its imam is Senegalese."
"It is about Sadio Mane," he explained.
I hesitated a lot to disclose this situation, especially since I do not want to share the scenes of my work, although my inclination to encourage Liverpool is not hidden from anyone (I suppose).
But with the confirmation of Sadio Mane's transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich, I trust in God to share this story with you:

After asking about the reason - according to Al-Nama’s tweets - the club representative explained to him that “Sadio Mane is keen whenever he is able to meet with any imam from Senegal on his foreign trips with the club with the aim of praying with him and tickets with him, and asking him about the conditions of the Senegalese community in the country in which they met, and he does not hesitate By providing assistance in case the imam complains about the conditions of the community.”
Al-Nama concluded, "Thank you, Sadio, because you are a wonderful person as much as you are a wonderful player, but more."
It is noteworthy that the Senegalese international is close to leaving Liverpool for Bayern Munich, after media reports said that the two teams agreed on the details of the deal and announced it within days.
