Pitso Mosimane, coach of the first team in Al-Ahly club, revealed the details of his conversation with the elements and stars of Chelsea, during the crowning ceremony of the Club World Cup.
The cameras had captured Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea technical director, heading to Pitso Mosimane, in order to greet him, before the latter asked him to communicate with Mason Mount, the blues star.
"Why did you ask to contact Mason Mount? I wanted his shirt for my daughter," Mosimane said in comments reported by South African media.
He added, "The Mason Mount shirt is not suitable for me -smiling-. But I ordered it for my daughter, who loves to play it, and she says (Mason Mount, Mason Mount), so I spoke to him and he actually gave me the shirt.. She deserves it, she works hard."
Later, Mosimane was photographed with the midfielder and World Cup winner with France and Chelsea, N'Golo Kante, while Musimani explained that the latter asked him to arrange a meeting with Alio Diang, Al-Ahly player.
Mosimane added: "I was only a messenger, he called me and said (Coach, can you please bring Aliou Diang?)".
He continued: "When you are sent by the winner of the World Cup, the Champions League and the Club World Cup, N'Golo Kante, what a humble, unbelievable man, he is another level."
He continued: "Kante is very humble. John Terry, the former Chelsea captain, is also a nice guy. I don't understand how successful people can be so humble."
Mosimane concluded: "I thought Hansi Flick, the former coach of Bayern Munich and the current German national team, was very good to me and mediocre last year. But Thomas Tuchel was on another level.
It is noteworthy that Al-Ahly club had won the FIFA Club World Cup bronze for the second time in a row and the third in history, after beating Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia by four goals without a response.
