The world champion joined FC Lorient this week, where he will resume the thread of his football career.
Cleared by British justice, Benjamin Mendy will resume the thread of his career. The 2018 world champion will bounce back at FC Lorient with the aim of regaining pleasure in competition. If the context around the defender necessarily appeals to the supporters, Régis Le Bris, the coach of Les Merlus, wanted to play it down.
” It was done that way like a player who can emerge in a database, explained . And then we said to ourselves why not even if it seemed very far away because of the status of the player, his experience and what Lorient is today. But in the end the rapprochement was able to take place so we are very satisfied. This means that the environment we offer is becoming interesting, including for this category of players”.
How Lorient intends to use Benjamin Mendy
Régis Le Bris, who shares the same agent as the defender, especially wanted to detail how he would use his rookie. ” As far as Benjamin is concerned, it is a position on the left as a side, piston or even left axis on a central defense at three. This position is not easy to find. So the recruitment cell has been working on this for a long time and at some point his name came up as one possibility among others.“.
