It was one of the key moments of the meeting between Stade Malherbe Caen and Rodez Friday November 22, 2024 (3-3). While the score is 1-0 for the visitors, Alexandre Mendy can resume a ball poorly cleared by the defense. His shot crashed against the post and in the process, Rodez scored a second goal.

After the match, the Caen top scorer didn't seem affected by his third post in two championship matches (he had hit the uprights twice during the trip to Metz).

It's part of the game. I'm going to continue working so that next time it hits the post.

“We must emphasize our mental strength”

His first reaction was for the group. Led 2-0, back to 2-2 then led again 3-2 a few seconds from time, SM Caen managed to grab a point. “It was an open match, with a lot of goals,” analyzes Alexandre Mendy. I think that tonight, we must emphasize our mental strength to come back to the score. »

On a personal level, this new post does not raise doubts. The attacker knows that not much is missing for this to change on the good side. He also notes that his team knew how to get opportunities during this meeting.

We have favorable situations for us. We need to be more realistic in both surfaces. Bad luck is part of the game. There are shots, sometimes I miss them and they go in. There, I make the right gesture and it doesn't fit.

Between now and the end of the year, there are three matches left at SM Caen, all away. So many opportunities for Alexandre Mendy to find the net again before the truce.
