Chelsea football goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has praised Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane for the effect they are right now having in English football as well as across the world.
The Reds’ wide forwards are working at the top level and have for various seasons. Continually being placed among the world’s greatest players, Salah and Mendy are setting the norm and arriving at finals domestically as well as internationally.
The pair confronted each other in the African Cup of Nations final earlier this year as Mane’s Senegal beat Salah’s Egypt on penalties – with the previous scoring the winning spot-kick.
Mendy was in goal for Senegal and has seen first-hand exactly the way that troublesome Salah is to stop. He was likewise in goal for Chelsea when they lost this season’s Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals to Liverpool on penalties, even though he saved from Mane in the latter.
Furthermore, Mendy has hailed the Reds duo’s contribution to football, saying it’s perfect for African football to have two players who are ‘true examples, role models and give hope to young people across the world.
“When you see African players, people like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, who really play at the highest possible level, then we talk about the best world players, not just the best African players,” said the 30-year-old speaking at the World Economic Forum transcribed by Goal.
“I think this is what we need to focus on. They are true examples, and role models and give hope to young people, making them desire to work and exceed the limits to achieve one goal. This is how football has impacted on a social level in all countries around the world.”
Both Mane and Salah will expect to beat Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday.
