3 years ago, Ismaïla Sarr was in Dakar at the Géneration Foot academy. Now 21, he's in London. He doesn't speak the language. The support of Sadio Mané, among others, is vital.
We sometimes forget footballers are often far from home, often young, humans.
You're 21, in a new environment, surrounded by strangers speaking a language you can't understand. You're expected to perform, to justify the faith (money) placed in you.
It's difficult. Worth remembering next time we criticise a team's latest foreign import struggling to settle.
