Since the start of the season, Nuno Mendes has impressed. Considered one of the best players in the world since his last season with PSG, the Portuguese left defender shows that he can do everything on the pitch. Endowed with a breathtaking technical and physical background, Mendes is almost impenetrable defensively and produces astonishing performances offensively. Performances that impress even former players of the capital club.
Asked by League 1+Maxwell was rave about his young successor: “Nuno Mendes, his speed is incredible. With the ball, it's difficult to maintain speed like he does. He's a fantastic player. Nuno is aggressive, he goes fast. I think it's super complicated to dribble him because he doesn't give the attackers a lot of space. Defensively, he gives the team that confidence.”
