The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

I think thats amazing from Sadio. His story is amazing.
My son did a project on him during lockdown. Sadios dad died when he was pretty young, if memory serves it was from something like sepsis. They had to put him in a cart and try and move him to the nearest village and there was no hospital in the locality. The lack of treatment cost his Dad his life.
Then the determination for someone so young to leave home (he pretty much ran away from home to attend a trial) and defy the odds and actually lead a successful life as a sportsman.
Then to build a hospital, a hospital that will save someone elses Dads life. To build a school that will provide education. To provide a basic income for the people in his Village - it is not everyone who would do this.
I suspect that acknowledgment of his roots, the poverty he came from is quite grounding. The fact that he has the ability to make a difference for so many lifes of those who grew up around him and does is what makes him a special guy. I think it is the same for Salah.
The odds of making it as a pro footballer are astronomical even if you live in the UK, to make it when you live in Senegal or Egypt then you can multiply those odds by millions.
