Decidedly, between Édouard Mendy and the photographs it is a long story of disenchantment. After FIFA failing to highlight him for The Best trophy for the best goalkeeper, his club Chelsea were not inspired to pay tribute to him during the Blues’ last title.
For observers around the world, it is obvious that at the moment Edouard Mendy is one of the best goalkeepers. The Senegalese has proven it in recent months with his Chelsea club and with the selection of Senegal. He won the Champions League with the Blues and the CAN with the Teranga Lions, always being solid and often decisive in these coronations. However, we can think that he does not benefit from the media coverage that his talent deserves. Not always valued as it should be, it has also never been awarded an individual prize. In addition, he had to suffer some communication incidents which can make you smile but indicate a little lack of respect for the Chelsea goalkeeper.

First, part of the French and English press confused him with Benjamin Mendy who is currently accused of rape and sexual assault. Then, in its tweet to present the nominees for The Best trophy for the best goalkeeper, FIFA presented him in training clothes while his competitors Manuel Neuer and Gianluigi Donnarumma were in official clothes. Edouard Mendy then expressed his anger, particularly on the networks. This time, it was his club that was at fault. In the wake of its crowning in the Club World Cup, Chelsea published a poster to pay tribute to its world champions with the entire workforce represented including Edouard Mendy.

The image of the Senegalese goalkeeper made West Ham fans smile. Indeed, if at first glance he seems to be in full stop, the cliché actually comes from a goal he had conceded from Arthur Masuaku during the Hammers’ 3-2 success on December 4th. On this third goal, Mendy had not been flawless with bad anticipation, which fans of the rival club remember as expressed in the tweet above with the smileys. ” It’s embarrassing haha. Chelsea literally celebrate their loss to us “, or, ” Beat them 3-2, does that make us world champions then? », express other messages. Definitely, the pictures have been causing a lot of trouble for Edouard Mendy lately.
