Mamadou Sakho, the central defender for Liverpool and the French national team, emerged as the hero in the return play-off against Ukraine last Tuesday, securing a 3-0 victory. The 23-year-old’s journey from his early days at PSG to his recent standout performances has been marked by twists and turns. In an interview with The Guardian, Sakho reflected on his decision to depart from PSG, his homegrown club, during the summer.
“I wouldn’t change my choice for anything,” he affirmed. “My decision to come to Liverpool was fantastic for me. I haven’t been here long, but I’m well integrated. I had only known one club before arriving, so that makes things a little more difficult. But I was ready to go, I asked everyone for advice, my teammates, coaches, and managers. My family has settled in well, now everything is fine.”
Sakho’s commitment to Liverpool and his positive adaptation to the new environment underscore the satisfaction he derives from his decision, emphasizing the support he sought from those around him to ensure a smooth transition.
