Bayern Munich striker, Sadio Mane has admitted that adjusting to life at Bayern Munich after enjoying such a successful time at Liverpool is “not easy at all”.
Mane has told UEFA’s official website of the opening to his spell at the Allianz Arena: “It is going well. Switching from one club to another is not easy. I spent eight very nice years in England, six years at Liverpool [after] two at Southampton, and now I am in a new country. It is not easy because everything changes so suddenly: people, training, everything.
“Everything is changing so it is not easy at all. I need to adapt. I knew that and it came as no surprise. It is happening just the way I imagined it. People here are welcoming, and they’re real players. People around the club are amazing so I am very happy.”
The Senegal international forward brought the curtain down on a six-year stint at Anfield during the summer transfer window, with a €41 million (£37m/$40m) move seeing a Champions League and Premier League title winner swap life in England for that in Germany. The 30-year-old has not been at his best for the Bundesliga champions, despite netting six goals through 12 appearances, and admits that such a dramatic career change has taken some getting used to.
