Mendy: “I was very afraid of my signing for Real Madrid”

Ferland Mendy (25 years) has given an interview to the medium Téléfoot in which he has revealed his feelings about his signing, in the summer of 2019, by Real Madrid or the importance of the figure of Zidane in the same and in the day to day.

Mendy, who has been in the starting eleven in the first two games of the Madrid team so far this season (Marcelo was out for the second due to back discomfort), has looked back at Téléfoot to tell how he lived his landing at the Bernabéu. “When I signed for Real Madrid, I was very afraid of my signing. It is very difficult to get to Real Madrd, but I adapted and I think it turned out quite well. “

Mendy: “Zidane is the class”

The data give him the reason, since in his debut as a Real Madrid player, Mendy played 2,403 minutes in 32 games, scoring 1 goal (against Granada, important for the achievement of the league title) and giving 4 assists.

He has given me good advice so far.”

Mendy, likewise, wanted to highlight everything that Zidane represents for him. “That Zinedine Zidane loves you is flattering. It's the class”, has assured when remembering his signing. The technician was the main supporter of the transfer, recommending to the sports management a reinforcement that cost 48 million euros plus 5 in variables and that today the board of directors, the coaching staff and the fans are delighted.
