The title of top scorer in Ligue 2
“It would be an achievement for me. The most important thing is that I am in continuity. I scored sixteen goals two years ago, nineteen last year. Today I am already at twenty. And the more goals I score, the more chances my team has of winning. It’s beneficial for me and my team. I know that I will have to be present in the last two matches to be as efficient as possible. and help my team win.
Why he performs at SMC
“Already the stability, the fact of feeling good in this city and the environment which suited me perfectly. This is why I also chose to extend last year rather than look elsewhere. For the comfort of my family too. I think the most important thing is to be good off the field Today I am good and that’s why I have good performances. It’s the first time. that I stayed in a club for so long, I’m happy and it’s working out pretty well for me.”
He brings his family… to the field
I got my kids on my shin guardsexplained the SM Caen striker to a listener who wanted to ask him. It’s important, he has to be with me on the pitch. On one of my protectors there are my children and my wife. And on the other there are my parents, my brothers and sisters.”
Cyrille Watier’s record
The historic scorer of SM Caen intervened in the program to sincerely wish him to beat his record. “I hope you will go to the play-off to increase the number of matches this year to score and break the record this year.“Alexandre Mendy thanked him before explaining.** “It’s close to my heart. Marking a club would be an honor for me, especially at a club like Stade Malherbe Caen.”

And I can add goals (Laughs). “I’ll probably be there and if it counts I’ll play too then replied Alexandre Mendy and continued: “There are two matches left, I’m not too focused on that anymore, we’ll say.

Its extension last summer

I like the people, I like the city I didn’t see myself leaving like a thief, free, without Stade Malherbe receiving anything if I ever had to leave. It was very important for me. I arrived free, I achieved great things here. is not yet finished. I owe a lot to the Stade Malherbe and to the people who have supported me for four years. I think it was the bare minimum to give back to the public, to the people of Caen.
What if he had to leave?
“There are no places I’m not allowed to go, it’s only my son who won’t be happy if I tell him that I’m leaving here first. And he’ll also have his little word to say as usual (smile).”
