Frank Lampard, the manager of Chelsea has praised goalkeeper Edouard Mendy for making things look like a piece of cake for the club as seven clean sheets in nine appearances to date were kept by him.
Signing Mendy in summer has produced extraordinary results with the Blues since being snapped up from Rennes. Mendy is ensuring to be a reassuring presence that Chelsea have been screaming for, with Frank Lampard has acknowledged that the belief built from the back has spread throughout his whole team. Even the fans are calling him to be the next Petr Cech of Chelsea.
“I’ve been really pleased. It’s not easy and he’s made it look easy, which is the difficult thing. When you come from another league there are of course differences in the Premier League – the physical nature, the speed of the league – and I think it is unique in those terms,” Lampard told Chelsea’s official website.
“For a goalkeeper that has got such a spotlight on him and is having to face these differences and make relationships with the team around him, he has done it very seamlessly.
“He has settled off the pitch and is performing on the pitch, you can’t ask any more than that, and he is doing it with a smile on his face and with a really great attitude. So I’m really pleased, it’s a good start for him in a Chelsea shirt. Long may that continue,” he added.
The Senegalese keeper has a very tremendous attitude towards playing the game. He has come from a different league and it’s obvious that he had to face the change of physical nature, the speed of the league but he fitted himself in the new environment very seamlessly.
Chelsea has moved into the third position in the table of Premier League, two points behind Liverpool and Tottenham, through the Champions League competition’s positive progress made in the group stage.
They are also progressing very well in Europe and it is completely visible after their away win at Rennes on Tuesday which made them the first team to qualify for the next rounds.
