Souleymane Faye was officially presented last Wednesday as the new Sporting player and, in addition to his first words as a new addition to the team, the Senegalese winger answered a series of quick questions that allowed fans to get to know his more personal side.

Asked about his biggest reference in football, the player did not hesitate: “Mbappé.” Off the pitch, Faye revealed that he had another path in mind if he hadn’t pursued a sports career. “Engineer,” he replied succinctly.

Among his tastes related to pop culture, the new Sporting player showed himself to be a fan of anime and TV series. His favorite series is “Breaking Bad,” while in the Japanese universe his choice is “One Piece.” If he could be an anime character, Souleymane Faye would choose Luffy, justifying: “For bringing lots of joy and smiles.”

The connection to the One Piece universe also extends to celebrations. For the player, the best celebration ever is inspired by the Japanese work: “Gear 4, from Luffy.” Regarding the moment he is living in his career, Faye showed excitement about representing the Alvalade club. “I feel excited and eager,” he said, making clear the motivation with which he arrives at Sporting.

On the musical front, the new addition revealed a preference for Latin rhythms, although he is already adapting to Portuguese culture. “Reggaeton, but now fado,” he said, laughing, taking into account the presentation video made by Sporting.
