Mendy: It's a big responsibility

30 Jan 2021


Edouard Mendy discusses how he is finding life with Chelsea and explains
why the English weather has helped him settle in London.

The goalkeeper joined the Blues from Rennes and already has 12 clean
sheets to his name, despite only arriving in late September, and is
enjoying life in the Premier League.


However, he knows the responsibility that comes with representing a top
club and is eager to help us improve results and return to form.


'I wanted to be here because for me the Premier League is the best league
in the world so I'm glad to be here,' he said. 'It was a good start but
with the team it's a difficult time. We try to keep going, to move forward
and I hope the results will be good soon.

Mendy kept his 12th clean sheet for the Blues in our last match against
Wolves


'It's a big responsibility because this club has won so many trophies and
we want to fight to win trophies every year, so the pressure is high every
year, and it's good to be part of this team.


'I think we have to work hard in training, to keep working, and for me we
need to stay confident between us because when you've lost many games
sometimes it's hard. But we need to stay positive, we need to stay
confident and stay focused on the next game.'


The Senegal international, who was born in France, made an impressive
start to his time in this country, not conceding a goal in any of his
first three Premier League appearances, and revealed that the weather and
spending time with his family helped him settle here quickly.


'Because firstly I think I play in a good team. We did well at the start
and I always worked to come here, so I think my attributes are good for
this league and help me to perform when I play.

Cech was an early inspiration for Mendy


'The weather is the same for me because I played for Rennes and I was born
in Le Havre, which is just next to England. So the weather is the same for
me. I like this culture, that is why I came here a lot of times and I like
to live here, to spend my time in London. I hope soon I can see the city
better.


'I spend my time with my family, with my wife and my two little boys, and
my sister. She gives me English lessons. She's a very good teacher, she's
helped me a lot, and her husband as well.'


Mendy also revealed which teams and players inspired him when he was a
youngster dreaming of playing at the highest level, including a couple of
Chelsea legends.


'When I was a little boy I watched Chelsea, Marseille and Real Madrid. I
watched a lot of the Chelsea games when Michael Essien and Didier Drogba
played for this club. For me this team was the best in the history of this
club.

Mendy was a big fan of the Chelsea team that included Drogba and Essien


'Everybody knows Petr is a legend, he's a very good goalkeeper, so I
watched a lot of his games. I liked Van Der Sar as well. As for outfield
players, Didier Drogba, and Gerrard as well, Michael Essien. I liked Louis
Saha, when he played for Manchester United and, of course, Cristiano
Ronaldo.'

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
