El Hadji Diouf's career was often overshadowed by a series of controversial incidents, both on and off the field. These included confrontations with opponents and officials, several spitting incidents at fans and players, and disputes with former teammates like Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard.
He earned a reputation as a combative player with a strong character, which led to him being a polarising figure among fans and media.
"Sadio Mané always said that I was his idol. He started from less than nothing, just like me, and today we are national heroes. It’s fabulous.
We have a big brother–little brother relationship. The legacy was heavy, but it was light for him to carry. He has great respect and affection for me. We carry Senegal in our hearts, whatever the field. And Sadio has progressed tremendously in every aspect." (lequipe)
