Afcon 2021: Sadio Mane happy to change playing style to help Senegal

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane says he is happy to make sacrifices and be more defensive if it helps Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Mane played a key role in the Teranga Lions' 3-1 win over Equatorial Guinea in Sunday's Nations Cup quarter-final to set up a last-four game against Burkina Faso.

As well as setting up the opening goal for Famara Diedhiou, Mane appeared all over the pitch to help Senegal put in their best performance of the finals so far.

"It's my job [to be ready to play everywhere]. I have to do it because I think it's really important for me," the 29-year-old said after the game.
