Régis Le Bris, the coach of FC Lorient, and Aiyegun Tosin were rave about the performance delivered by the French left-back, Benjamin Mendy, against AS Monaco this Sunday.
Successful return for Benjamin Mendy. Coming into play in the 70th minute of the match against Monaco (2-2), this Sunday at Moustoir, the French left-back was able to be decisive by delivering a cross to Isaak Touré headed to Romain Faivre, which allowed the Merlus to come back into the score in added time. Satisfied with the performance of the former Citizen, his trainer, Régis Le Bris, was full of praise for him.
“Benjamin Mendy, he’s someone! »
“ He will bring what he is, as a player, a lot of things to a piston position. It’s a position that we tend to double up on, because it’s extremely athletically demanding. There is an entire lane to occupy on the offensive part and on the defensive part. “Ben”, with his qualities as a centerman, will be a very interesting player for us. I immediately saw an extremely committed boy, but you have to be careful.” he confided. The Breton coach nevertheless wishes to be cautious towards the Ile-de-France resident who is making his return to competition after two years spent away from the football fields. “We will have to increase playing times gradually”declared the 47-year-old manager.
The 2018 world champion is also unanimous within the Breton group so much so that he is now considered one of the leaders of the Lorient locker room if we are to believe the words of the Beninese striker, Aiyegun Tosin . “He’s a very, very good person. He talks to us a lot in training. He advises us. Within the group, he sets a good mood. He talks a lot to young people. He leads by example. We took him for his performances, he’s someone! »confided the center forward of the Guépards after receiving the Asemists.
