During an interview given to Record, the president of theUEFA Aleksander Ceferin did not hide his admiration for a player from the capital club. Indeed, the boss of the European body is a big fan of Portuguese full-back Nuno Mendes.
“Nuno Mendes is fantastic. He may be the best player at the moment, but his position is not as appreciated as those who score. João Neves, Vitinha… my favorite defender, Rúben Dias. But I didn't want to say any names, I still forget someone. It’s impressive what you’re doing in Portugal. It’s not just talent, it’s not just hard work…others do it too. There is something else. I hope to find out before leaving the UEFA presidency,” he said.
Nuno Mendes seduces club legend
The football world praises Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese is in top form and is currently unquestionably the best in his position. After the president of theUEFAa legend of the capital club also praised the young defender.
“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 that confidence to the team,” said Scherrer Maxwell in an interview with Ligue1+.
