It's a funny anecdote told by Bakary Sako. In an interview with Rapunchlinethe former Saint-Etienne and Wolverhampton player confided in a special moment in his career. During his big season with ASSE, the Malian international was obviously at the gates of the French team and was even mistakenly called by Laurent Blanc. The latter wanted to summon Mamadou Sakho …
“I was in the pre-selection of the A. But there was me and there was Mamadou Sakho. When Laurent Blanc gives his list, he gives my blaze. It means when I go back to the locker room, everyone jumps on me, they are happy. I am congratulated for my first selection. Everyone calls me, my phone rings everywhere. The coach congratulates me. And a few minutes later, Laurent Blanc did an interview on BFM and he says he was finally mistaken for Sakho. It was the other. He cut my legs. And since this story, I no longer wanted to hear about the French team. To a letter near Sako and Sakho, it could have been me. From that moment, I told myself that I had to go with Mali and I do not regret. ” An anecdote that had obviously escaped us.
