Young Star’s Shocking Revelation Sparks Outrage: Pape Matar Sarr’s Future Plans Post-Football Unveiled, Fans Enraged Over Potential Short Career! [Check comment for full story link]
Tottenham midfielder Pape Sarr has revealed his true passion in life away from football – and it’s not what you might expect.
Tottenham’s Pape Matar Sarr, 21, is planning to study computer science once his football career allows him the time. For now, he’s a key player for the north London team, using his intelligence on the football pitch.
Ahead of today’s big match at Aston Villa (1pm), Sarr shared his love for the intricate workings of computers, though he’s not a fan of video games. He sees similarities between his role in supplying Tottenham’s front-line from the midfield and the problem-solving work of an IT expert.
“We’re a family – and maybe it does resemble a bit the way a computer works,” said the Senegal star. He plans to start studying computer science in the next year or two, focusing on the electronics behind computers rather than gaming.
He continued: “I try to bring my football intelligence to the party and my view of the game. Computer science is what I want to do after my career. I’ve done research here and there but not formal studies because I don’t have time. Within the next year or two I’m going to.
“It’s not the games I’m interested in but the electronic stuff behind a computer.”
If his midfield performances alongside Yves Bissouma are anything to go by, Sarr will excel in his studies. Since Australian manager Ange Postecoglou took over Spurs, Sarr has made 22 league appearances this season, double the number under previous boss Antonio Conte.
After being signed by French club Metz and then loaned back to them for a year, Sarr was called back for the 2022-23 campaign only to spend much of it out of favour.
However, he remained positive and, with an infectious smile and spirit stemming from his academy days in Senegal, is benefitting under Postecoglou’s Champions League chasers.
“We were a bunch of young guys, basically locked away,” Sarr said. “It was a great life. We didn’t have much access to mobile phones. We had lots of laughs and we had to entertain ourselves.
“I try to keep that going now because I think to be smiling and full of joy in everyday life is important.
“Although I wasn’t playing, I didn’t let my head drop or desire decrease. Now I’m playing it feels a return on the hard work. But I’m honest enough to realise nothing has been achieved yet.
“I’ve still lots to learn. Maybe the easy part is getting to the top and the hard bit is actually maintaining that level, and staying there.”
If after advice on longevity and survival as an elite performer, Sarr, who styles his game on ex-Manchester City powerhouse Yaya Toure, need only to tap up Senegal skipper and former Liverpool striker Sadio Mane.
“It was always my dream to meet Sadio because, frankly, he’s a hero to all of Africa,” added Sarr, capped 21 times by his country.
“Now I’m his team-mate in the national team. You try to get as as much of his advice as you can. He’s a role model for me and many others.”
