In life, it’s not just Gigio Donnarumma messing up his clearances. Édouard Mendy is becoming an increasingly tough competitor in this area.
Chelsea went to Leeds this afternoon as part of the 3rd day of the Premier League. A week after the magical altercation between Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, it is this time on the lawn that the Blues will shine. Finally, when we say Blues, our gaze turns mainly to Édouard Mendy.
Never underestimate Edward Scissorfoot
We play half an hour of play at Elland Road, and all the Chelsea players are pushing in the same direction to break the Peacocks defense. All ? Nope ! A player resists again and again this philosophy tinged with win. Her name ? Edouard Mendy.
Thiago Silva grabs the ball 30 yards from goal, but the Brazilian is not known to be the player who takes the most risks. This is why he prefers to send a long ball to his goalkeeper, just to avoid getting wet on any recovery. If only he knew.
Mendy has all the time in the world to control the ball, take a look at the position of his teammates, and make his choice. But it is during this last stage that the Senegalese will experience a monumental bug. Victim of the pressing of the American Brenden Aaronson, Édouard panics and has the ball stolen lightly. Like the impression that time has stopped in Leeds, in this 34th minute of play.

What to remind us his perfect clearance in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season against Real Madrid. A moment that will forever be etched in our memories.
Golden ball for Edouard Mendy please
