Togolese star Emmanuel Adebayor, the former Real Madrid and Arsenal player, and the current Asunción Paraguayan team, believes that Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane do not deserve to win the award for best player in Africa in 2019 and 2020.
Adebayor said in statements to “All Africa”: “I have distanced myself from anything Kafe does, I only honor my country, Togo, but if I am invited to anything related to the African Union, I will not participate in it.”
On the prize for the best player in Africa, he said: “How can a man win the prize? He is not a player in Africa. Lionel Messi did not win an individual award in South America. I have not seen a player playing in Europe from South America and winning a prize on his continent.”
He added: “In Brazil, Neymar does not win the Player of the Season award, but he can win the Player of the Year award in Brazil, so how does Salah and Mani win the award? This is not a good scenario, this award belongs to players playing in Africa.”
It is worth noting that Adebarro was crowned the award in 2008, and was then playing for Arsenal.
Adebayor is always a controversial player, as he recently came out with a statement saying that he was not the one who brought Corona to his country for some to ask him to donate.
Adebayor has been criticized by the masses of his country, Togo, for not following the example of many football stars worldwide, especially on the African continent, by not donating any aid to officials or the poor in Togo because of the worsening economic conditions after the outbreak of the Corona virus worldwide. .
