Sadio Mane’s introduction speech at Al Nassr has left a powerful impact on his new teammates, including Cristiano Ronaldo. The Senegalese forward, who joined Al Nassr from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window, met his new teammates on Wednesday. In a video shared on social media, Mane charged his teammates to be ready to compete for all titles and to stick together as a team.
“I am really happy to be part of you guys and really excited to start with you guys. And of course, our target is to win everything, and I am sure everybody is ready for it. What a team. Let’s stick together and we will be successful,” Mane said in his inspiring speech.
Mane’s arrival at Al Nassr is seen as a significant boost for the team, which lost the Saudi Pro League to Al Ittihad last season. With the addition of Mane, along with other signings like Sekou Fofana and Marcelo Brozovic, Al Nassr aims to secure the title ahead of the new campaign. Mane is expected to make his debut for Al Nassr in a match against African giants Zamalek in the Arab Club Champions Cup.
The Saudi Pro League has witnessed a surge in top players moving to the Middle East, with Cristiano Ronaldo being one of the pioneers who signed for Al-Nassr earlier in the year. The allure of deals on offer in the oil-rich country has attracted several other big-name players, including the Ballon d’Or holder, Karim Benzema.
In a recent match, Ronaldo’s heroics with a stunning header helped Al-Nassr secure a spot in the second round of the Arab Club Champions Cup. Mane, who came off the bench in the same game, congratulated Ronaldo on his match-winning goal and celebrated the team’s progress to the next round.

The Saudi Pro League has been the new craze this summer, with over 15 top players dumping the top European leagues to move to the Middle East.
Cristiano Ronaldo sparked a chain reaction when he signed for Al-Nassr in January and since then several other big-name players, including the reigning Ballon d’Or holder, Karim Benzema, have joined him.
Manchester City’s head coach, Pep Guardiola, has sounded a warning that deals on offer for the players in the oil-rich country might just be a little bit difficult to compete with.
