Chelsea goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy, has revealed how he has managed to keep his starting position since he signed for the club one year ago, IgbereTV reports.
Mendy arrived at Stamford Bridge from Rennes while the team was led by Frank Lampard.
The 29-year-old went on to claim the starting role between the sticks, which he has kept under new manager Thomas Tuchel.
The Senegalese international has managed to keep clean sheets in 29 of his 50 games so far in a Chelsea shirt, winning the Champions League in May and was handed the trophy for UEFA Men’s Goalkeeper of the Year for 2020-21 season a few days ago.
“When you play for this kind of club, you will find big competition [for places], a big fight for playing,” Mendy told Chelsea’s official website.
“You can see it at Manchester City and at Liverpool – two good goalkeepers who are ready to play. So you have to be the best for yourself but the team also because when the coach puts you on the pitch, you have to show why he called you.
