Ferland mendy has been one of the sensations of the season in the Real Madrid. After a first campaign with more shadows than lights, the Frenchman managed to leave on the bench, helped by his poor physical condition, Marcelo.
Until Zidane, firm defender of the Brazilian, recognized the physical superiority of his recommended signing, giving him the role of undisputed holder. Now he has sent the club that he wants to adapt his file to his performance and games played, circumstance that the club does not contemplate.
So will the eleven of Madrid with Alaba: replace Ramos? Sit Mendy or Casemiro?
Mendy became a fixture in all matches, especially in the important ones, and only the injuries he suffered at the end of the season prevented him from reaching 50 games, remaining at 42: 30 in the League, 11 in the Champions League and one in the Super Cup. His performance was more than remarkable and although it may seem surprising, his absence was one of those that the white team suffered the most at the end of the campaign. In his first year he stayed in 30 games.
Mendy thinks she deserves more and although his main supporter within the club is no longer (it was Zidane) he knows that Ancelotti tried his signing for Naples and that, therefore, is to the liking of the Italian. The full-back has gotten on well with the rest of the team and Zidane knew how to take advantage of his physical power.
New situation
The video of the Bernabu’s works that raises doubts that it can be played in September
Mendy arrived at Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 from Olympique de Lyon in exchange for 45 million euros. Its value now hovers around 50 million thanks to the work done last year.
The French international defense contract ends on June 30, 2025. Came from the hand of Zidane and now the Frenchman is no longer on the white bench, something that Mendy it does not consider an insurmountable problem. That s, he would like his contract to be adapted to his reality in terms of minutes and their importance on the field of play.
The left side of the white team is overbooked. Besides Mendy, Ancelotti knows that Marcelo has a contract in force and he has no intention of resigning the year he has left. of link with the madridista entity. Last season he lost the title and does not seem to mind continuing away from the limelight during the remaining campaign.
The Factory, on stage
Miguel Gutirrez is he third left-back of the Real Madrid squad. With a Castilla card, his role can be very important in the return of Ancelotti. What was shown in the final part of last season adventure the arrival of a player for many years and has convinced everyone.
There is even a left lateral quarter in the white orbit. Fran Garca’s season with Rayo has made him one of the possible alternatives. Real Madrid still have their orbit for him and many First Division teams, including the recently promoted one, want to have the youth squad side of the Madrid team. For Valdebebas they have not said the last word, but they know that they have a future value … and present.
