"Mendy has brought us calm"

Chelsea have a good chance against Rennes this Wednesday to take a giant step towards the last 16 of the Champions League.

Mendy will be in charge of guarding the London team's goal, and he was again the protagonist in a press conference by Frank Lampard.

"It's always very positive when a player comes in and performs very well immediately. He has brought us a lot of calm, through his footwork, at crosses. He does everything you expect from a goalkeeper. But I think he can do even more and with his attitude, which is the key, his humility, he can go further in many areas," the coach began.

Lampard continued in the same vein: "When we did some research before hiring 'Edou', we were also interested in his personality. All the comments indicated that he has a very good, strong personality in the dressing room. Everything I heard was positive".

"He doesn't need much care, he works hard, always wants to work more and goes to his teammates. He always has a smile and plays well," added the coach.
