Dubai: Former Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho said the global has replaced so much since he seized the coronavirus pandemic that even the game is expected to show marked adjustments in the future.
“Football is just a small component of what we call global. And this global will never be the same again, at least for the foreseeable future,” Sakho told Gulf News in a verbal exchange at FIFA Medical Center of Excellence in Dubai. Week.
“Companies around the world have replaced and the entire sports industry has felt the effects, too. But I am one of those who hope that world leaders will find answers that will guarantee a dignified life for each and every one of the people of the planet. I hope and pray that these leaders will find the right answers to ensure everyone’s happiness just because each and every one is entitled to a dignified life.
Sakho, a full-fledged international, who has already won options and was Captain of France at all levels of youth, made his senior debut in 2010 against England. Since then, the 30-year-old has played more than 25 international matches and has also represented France at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
During an illustrious football career, Sakho has dedicated himself to charity on several occasions. In its early years, he was part of Liverpool’s involvement in networking, with Sakho helping to teach French to local schoolchildren.
As a component of his charitable work, Sakho continued to stop in West African countries such as Gabon, Mali, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia and Cote d’Ivoire, where he interacted with segments of society, adding disadvantaged prisoners and children.
Earlier this year, Crystal Palace’s central defender hosted a star-filled occasion in Paris to raise cash for its Amsak charity. Sakho invited fellow Palace teammates Cheikhou Kouyate, Christian Benteke and Jordan Ayew, as well as fellow French international teammates Kylian Mbappé, Blaise Matuidi and former Eagle Steve Mandanda, to their favorite task of building an orphanage in their local Senegal.
“All my friends came to me and my only hope is that we will continue to increase the budget for these allocations in Senegal. We have already begun construction of the orphanage. The timing component of the assignment will be a school for children, where they will be informed about the values of life and life so that they can move into the global as self-confident human beings,” Sakho said.
“Football is the number one medium we can use to teach young people. My non-public delight in football has shown me that I have learned all about hard work, respect and never giving up the fight. This task is vital to me because I need to give these young people a moment of possibility in life.
Sakho also became concerned by taking a stand in the Black Lives Matter movement that swept through the previous world this year. And in the face of the existing coronavirus pandemic, the footballer has expressed support for frontline workers.
“Football is only a small part of my life. I do all this because I like to help people. I think some things are natural to people. We’re a global one, and right now, we’re all in the same boat. Nothing other issues to pay homage to all the sacrifices made every day through those brave people,” Sakho said.
