Nomer 2 Mantan


Cech on signing Mendy: "We had to make sure it was someone everyone agreed on, not just me. It had to be the club, and especially the manager, who had to be comfortable with the choice. We had a list of goalkeepers. We presented it all to Frank Lampard. We talked with the scouts"

Cech: "We shared information. We gave the pros and cons of each goalkeeper. In the end, my knowledge of Édouard for the past three years helped. I think he’s a goalkeeper who can still improve, with his work, professionalism and desire to be better every day."

Cech: "I’m convinced he’ll improve more, and these aren’t the best performances you’ll see from Édouard Mendy”.

🇫🇷 Kurt Zouma’s aerial dominance this season:

• Currently winning just under 3 aerial battles per game
• Completing 2.3 headed clearances per game
• Winning 87% of overall aerial duels, highest in the league
• Has scored 3 goals in just 6 PL games

Zouma on Mendy: "He has been great, with the ball at his feet and he is big, too. He has presence and catches the ball when he comes out. He is talking a lot, doing a great job. He settled in very quickly, but we have to keep focused"

Zouma: "I speak French and I know him a little bit from before. He is a top guy, a very clever guy. Easy to talk to. He is super-intelligent, very calm. He has no problems speaking English. We were talking French, but now he has learned some English very quickly.”
