So the daily newspaper Record, which simply relied on the player’s comments, made its front page announcing the end of Saliou Ciss’ career, the latter was keen to deny the news on Instagram.
“Football and I are done. I’m on the other side now.”. It is with these terms that the sports daily makes its front page of this Monday, September 2, quoting the words of the 34-year-old player and making it clear that the latter, who seemed indeed clear in his statement, had decided to end his football career. But when the news gained momentum, Ciss himself denied it via a Story on his Instagram account.
Saliou Ciss makes a U-turn and denies Saliou Ciss… This is exactly what we can understand after hearing the audio of the former (?) Senegalese international left-back on the microphone of our colleagues at Record.
“Hello Mr. Director of Publication of the Record newspaper. It is with great disappointment that I read the front page of your newspaper saying: “Football and I, it’s over”. I wanted to lie to you about this information and clarify that I never made such a statement. The Journalist called out to me and I automatically replied: “don’t talk to me about football”. But, I never did an interview to say that I was ending my career as a professional footballer. I told him that I am on the other side and I am taking care of my family. I am sending you this note for rectification as soon as possible. The day I end my career, I will announce it myself”, he said. enlightened.
Although it now seems unlikely that the former Diambars player will return to the national team, the player ended his denial with a: “Saliou Ciss, Senegalese international”. It remains to be seen whether he is eyeing a new club, which would allow him to put his shoes back on. the crampons, two years later.
