Sadio Mane, a Senegalese international, has joined the Saudi club Al Nassr and appears to be having the time of his life.
When the former Liverpool forward scored a goal for the team, he was seen performing an Arab dance.
He follows in the footsteps of colleague Cristiano Ronaldo, who did a traditional Saudi dance after scoring twice to help his club defeat Al Shabab 4-0 inside Al-Awwal Park.
The 38-year-old went on to create the popular Arab folk dance in the Middle East.
Mane performed the identical dance moves earlier demonstrated by his striking partner Ronaldo in the rare clip, which has now gone viral.
The former Bayern Munich forward wiggled his entire body after raising his right hand in what appeared to be the traditional Saudi dance motion.
Al Nassr continue resurgence
Al Nassr, meantime, has climbed up to sixth place in the Saudi Professional League standings after winning two of their first four games this year.
The Knights of Najd defeated Al Fateh 5-0 to get back on the winning track after dropping their first two games of the season.
Then, according to Sports Star, Luis Castro’s team defeated Al Shabab 4-0 to advance up the standings.
Ronaldo practices dance at training
The “ardah” is a traditional dance that is frequently accompanied by drums and could involve two rows of men holding swords, as Sports Brief previously stated.
It turns out that before performing at Al-Awwal Park on Tuesday night, CR7 had been practicing this dance.
On the X App, formerly known as Twitter, a video of Ronaldo following a teammate’s lead while wearing his workout gear went viral.
