Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy, has revealed how he has managed to keep his starting position since he signed for the club one year ago.<\/p>\n

Mendy arrived at Stamford Bridge from Rennes while the team was led by Frank Lampard.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old went on to claim the starting role between the sticks, which he has kept under new manager Thomas Tuchel.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Goalkeeper of the Year for 2020-21 season a few days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you play for this kind of club, you will find big competition [for places], a big fight for playing,\u201d Mendy told Chelsea\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see it at Manchester City and at Liverpool \u2013 two good goalkeepers who are ready to play. So you have to be the best for yourself but for the team also because when the coach puts you on the pitch, you have to show why he called you.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time you have to show it, and you have to push each other at training. It\u2019s a competition and Kepa [Arrizabalaga], me or Marcus [Bettinelli], we want to be the best for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mendy added: \u201cWhen the manager arrived he brought his philosophy and his energy and we performed straightaway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was a good match between the manager and his staff and the team because the way he wants to play, we have the players for it so it was a good match.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, he brings a lot of energy. He is a very energetic manager and I think the team needs that so it\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
