His development from the first day has been outstanding. United - CB Frenkie de Jong Barcelona - CM Raheem Sterling Man. He’s an outstanding guy with a fantastic personality, super humble, super calm. SILVER PLAYERS Rakuten ETIHAD AIRWAYS CHEVRDLE Edouard Mendy Chelsea - GK Harry Maguire Man. Thomas Tuchel, speaking in September 2021, on working with Mendy at Chelsea FC: “I’m super happy with him. “It’s a lot more difficult to score against Chelsea, not just because of the change to the back five, which Thomas Tuchel brought in, but also the goalkeeper.” If you’re going to win a title there are going to be games where you don’t play well, you don’t deserve to win the game but your goalkeeper makes two or three world class saves. But it was thanks to my family, who helped so much in those moments to keep me strong.” What Have Others Said?įormer Manchester United star Gary Neville on Mendy’s man-of-the-match performance against Brentford in October 2021: “He was absolutely brilliant.
I had many, many doubts during that time. Tuchel has now added his voice to the cause, along with Rudiger, who tweeted his bemusement at the snub on Saturday evening.“Because one year to go without football is an incredibly long time. Comments from Mendy’s compatriots Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly during the international break brought it to the fore. When the list was announced last month – when Mendy was very much the same player – his absence was not a talking point. Right now that conversation is on why he was not on the shortlist for the Ballon d’Or.
Having made a string of impressive stops across two hours of action against Villarreal in Belfast, Thomas Tuchel made the swap right before the penalty. Such a clear, backs-against-the-wall display from Mendy gets people talking. Chelsea goalkeepers were thrust into the spotlight right from day one in our 2021/22 campaign, with Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga sharing responsibilities in the UEFA Super Cup triumph in August. But it is also the most exciting thing they do, and why the position carries that sense of glory. Making saves is the very least a goalkeeper can do. And that Bryan Mbeumo should really stop hitting the post. Even after Mendy’s performance against Brentford, the onus shifted back to how they really should have scored one of their 17 shots on goal. Still the way we talk about their craft can be quite reductive. The Senegal international, who was born in France, also took the opportunity to give financial backing to PowerZ, an educational video game programmed for kids. But it has normalised their brilliance to a degree. Edouard Mendy has been enjoying his vacation in France and on Saturday, the Chelsea goalkeeper spent time with school children in Paris. Television certainly has not dulled our appreciation of goalkeepers, especially given how slow-motion replays can alert us to the faintest of fingertips not picked up live. “I thought he was the best.” As Jonathan Wilson put it in his book The Outsider, those in the heart of the dramatic moments in 1958, the first World Cup broadcast over radio in Brazil, became household names: “Those who had the shots on goal for Brazil and those who saved the opponent’s shots.” “When I was a kid, I got used to hearing commentators scream his name,” said Valdir Peres, Brazil’s first choice at the 1982 World Cup. Brazilian goalkeeper Gilmar, a World Cup winner in 19, inspired the next generation because of how his exploits came across on the radio. Edouard Mendy to Chelsea: who be di goalkeeper wey Frank Lampard wan sign E don dey look like Edouard Mendy go become Chelsea player to compete wit first choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Before television, the striker and the goalkeeper were the two main protagonists in any football match.
