It was with the status of double European champion that Ferland Mendy presented himself at a press conference this Thursday. The versatile defender real Madrid is not the most experienced player in the France group. Assumed discretion.
“Enjoy it!” I prefer to avoid press conferences. It’s simply my temperament,” said the former Lyonnais, with a smile. But Mendy was not able to avoid certain subjects in a very varied press briefing, on the eve of the curtain-raising of the Euro.
Mendy kicks into touch
Back in favor in the group, the recent winner of the Champions League, who has the chance to rub shoulders with Kylian Mbappé in the selection, will find the Bondy prodigy in his club in a few weeks. Used to starting his actions on the left, decisive, spectacular and sometimes unstoppable, the captain of the Blues has a register comparable to the current X factor of Real, Vinicius Jr.
So when Mendy is called upon to play the game of comparisons, the French international prefers to kick in. “ The best between Vinicius and Mbappé? They are two different players, but two great players. I hope it goes very well in Madrid. But nice try!“.
