Chelsea star Edouard Mendy set to miss RB Salzburg clash.

Chelsea star N’Golo Kante praises Edouard Mendy for match-saving performance against United

Speaking to the club’s official site, Chelsea star N’Golo Kante has praised Edouard Mendy for his performance against Manchester United.

The Blues and the Red Devils played out a 0-0 draw in the standout fixture of the weekend. While we did have our chances, so did United.

New signing Mendy was at the fore once again as he kept his third clean sheet of the season. Finally, the club appears to have a keeper they can depend on.

“He made some decisive saves. He helped us keep the clean sheet. It’s good for him, for his confidence, and good for the team.”

It is fair to say that Kepa Arrizabalaga’s troubles extended to his defence as well. Playing in front of an indecisive keeper is not the best of situations to be in for a defender.

With Mendy now in goal, we have hopfully put those days behind us. Thiago Silva was also excellent and did well to organize the backline against the United frontline led by Marcus Rashford.

Mendy was twice at hand to deny the United striker what could have been a game-winning goal. Both attempts came in the latter stages of either half.

Kante, for his part, was impressed to see his new teammate play a key role for the club on the field. He hopes that the Senegalese star can keep up his good form going forward.

“I hope he can keep going in this way and continue not conceding any goals.”

Chelsea have now kept back-to-back cleansheets. While our defence still has work to do, this upturn in form is a positive sign.

With things secure at the back, it will hopefully give the frontline more confidence to contribute at the other end.
