Mane Charges Ronaldo and Al Nassr Teammates to Bounce Back in Saudi Pro League

• Sadio Mane has sent his teammates a message ahead of their Al Fateh clash
• Al-Nassr are yet to win a game in the new Saudi Pro League season thus far
• The Senegalese star is hoping to lead his team to league success this term

Sadio Mane has sent a message to his Al-Nassr teammates ahead of their Saudi Pro League game against Al Fateh on Friday at the Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Stadium.

The Knights of Najd have lost their two opening matches of the campaign and currently sit 16th on the SPL table, nine points behind leaders, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli.

The Senegalese forward, who starred for Al-Nassr as they claimed the Arab Club Champions Cup recently, believes it is time for his new club to bounce back.

In a message posted on social media, Mane urged his teammates to 'do it again' as he attempted to convey his belief in the team getting back to winning ways.

"Let's do it again," he wrote.

The Senegalese attacker also played a significant role in midweek as Al-Nassr secured a place in the group stage of the AFC Champions League after beating Shabab Al-Ahli from the UAE.

The Saudi Arabian side will face Persepolis, Al-Duhail, and Istiklol in Group E of the competition, as reported by South China Morning Post, with Ronaldo sure to be seeking ultimate victory.

Meanwhile, Sports Brief reported on Sadio Mane's cousin, Mamadou Lamine Toure, getting the opportunity to meet his idol, Ronaldo, after an Al-Nassr training session.

Toure, who recently joined Saudi Arabian second-tier side, Al Shaeib, visited his cousin in Riyadh after the Knights of Najd's success in the Arab Club Champions Cup.

The 20-year-old had dreamed of meeting the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and with Mane becoming CR7's teammate, that dream was realised sooner than expected.
