While Sadio Mané was a fair wedding last weekend, his wife’s age raises questions.
The year has started beautifully for Sadio Mané. As he prepares to lead Senegal at the African Cup of Nations that will start next week, the Al Nassr striker married in Dakar with his partner, Aïssa Tamba, from the same village as him, in Casamance.
The wedding of the captain of the Lions of the Téranga made a lot of noise in Senegal. But not only. The fault at his wife’s age. According to the local press, the young lady is indeed 19 or even 18 years old, and is still in her final year, according to some local media.
Still according to the Senegalese press, the young woman, who would be the daughter of Sadio Mané’s architect, was only 16 years old when Sadio Mané made her her companion. Enough to provoke very strong reactions, some do not hesitate to say that Aïcha Tamba did not marry the former Bavarian of her own free will or at least did not have the necessary discernment to marry a 31-year-old man.
This controversy should not disturb Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate in Al-Nassr. And this while Senegal has inherited a particularly complicated group with Cameroon, Guinea and The Gambia. Opponents who do not scare the former Reds artificer. “I think that fearing a team in a competition is a lack of professionalism. They are great teams. We respect them. But we don’t fear them,” he warned, determined to keep the title won two years ago: “When you are a professional, you necessarily have objectives, ambitions. I think the word professional simply means everything. To be there, to want to win again and again. We certainly won the African Cup of Nations (CAN). What is good for us, for you and for the country. But I think we want to win other continental titles for Senegal.”
