恭喜門迪！


對門迪來說，這是非凡的一年，他在51場比賽中保持27場零封，只丟了34個球。
他在歐冠淘汰賽階段只丟了兩個球，其中一個是今晚競爭普斯卡什獎的波爾圖的梅赫
迪˙塔雷米打進的，而我們第二次贏得歐冠。


這一獎項鞏固了門迪的世界足壇頂級門將地位，他以驚人的速度登上足壇巔峰，
這為他奠定了基礎。六年前他還在法國低級聯賽踢球，並考慮結束自己的職業生涯。

Mendy on pride at FIFA award, desire to contribute more and AFCON hopes

18 Jan 2022


Yesterday Edouard Mendy was deservedly named the Best FIFA Men's
Goalkeeper for 2021, and he has spoken from Cameroon, where he is
currently competing at the Africa Cup of Nations, to give his reaction to
the award and underline his determination to keep improving.

Mendy's rise to the top of the game has been a fairytale story. Not long
ago he was without a club and pondering his next steps. Walking away from
the game was a very real possibility, but Mendy persisted and has reaped
the rewards, rising from the lower French leagues to become a European
champion with Chelsea.


'It is a very special moment for me, and for my family,' said Mendy on
being named the best keeper, revealed by Peter Schmeichel (top).


'It is something that is historic because it is the first time an African
goalkeeper has won this award, so I really have a feeling of pride, on
behalf of Senegal but also on behalf of Africa. I hope that over the
years, other goalkeepers like me will continue to write their name into
the pages of world football.


'It makes me happy, and it pushes me to keep going. I just try to do my
best, to work hard every day, to perform with my team at the club and with
the national team.'


Despite reaching the pinnacle of the game for goalkeepers, Mendy does not
want to stand still. It is that commitment to development that helped him
scale such heights in a short space of time.


'I think there is always room for improvement if you want to learn,' he
noted. 'Today, I still want to learn, I still have a thirst for trophies.
We have a very good group at Chelsea, it's a very good club, where we can
do very good things.


'Every day I'm at Chelsea I listen to the goalkeeping coaches, James
Russell and Hilario. I listen to the head coach, Thomas Tuchel, who has a
very interesting philosophy and vision of football. So I'm progressing
every day, I don't feel like I've reached my limit. I know I can still
contribute to my club and my national team, and that's what I'm going to
do.'


In the short term, Mendy will be focusing all his efforts on helping
Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations. His start to the tournament was
delayed because of a positive Covid result shortly after he arrived in
Africa, but he is now back with the squad and hoping to start later today
when the Lions of Teranga take on Malawi.

Kick-off is at 4pm UK time and as long as Senegal avoid defeat they are
guaranteed a spot in the last 16. A win could see them finish in first
place, depending on how Guinea get on against Zimbabwe in Group B's other
game.


'Things are going very well, they are getting better and better,' assessed
the 29-year-old. 'We weren't too lucky at the start of the competition
because we were heavily affected by Covid. Many players therefore had to
be sidelined, including me. But we managed to take four points, and we now
have a decisive game. We are fully focused on this.


'Our expectations are to do our best, to give our best on the pitch, and
to try to win this trophy because we play to win this trophy, and I think
we are ready.'
