“People say that about me, but I don’t see myself as a
global star at all. I don’t know where to start with that phrase,” Mane told
Bayern’s club magazine in an interview published Tuesday. “All I care about is
being part of the team. I do everything for that. I want to go to the limit for
my teammates: score goals, provide assists and win games. I’m here to give my
absolute best for Bayern Munich.”
He added, “Everyone knows Bayern’s identity. For me, this
‘Mia san mia’ means that the team always comes first. It’s the togetherness
that counts, not the individual.”
Mane won every club title on offer with Liverpool
highlighted by the 2019 Champions League and 2020 Premier League titles.
He led Senegal to the Africa Cup of Nations title this year
and was two weeks ago named African Footballer of the Year for a second time.
Mane is Bayern’s biggest-name summer signing along with
Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt, and he scored in Bayern’s 5-3 win over RB
Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday.
“I want to bring all my experience to the team and help make
it even stronger so that together we can all achieve our goals. Nowadays, I’m
an experienced player and know how to deal with this kind of pressure,” he
said.
Bayern’s next match is the Bundesliga opener on Friday at
Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
