Carlo Ancelotti’s unwavering trust in Ferland Mendy amidst Fran Garcia’s rise

Carlo Ancelotti has once again backed Ferland Mendy, despite the impressive performances of Fran Garcia in recent weeks.

With both players competing for the same left-back spot at Real Madrid, Ancelotti made it clear that his decision-making goes beyond form, stressing his deep trust in Mendy’s abilities.

“These are technical decisions. I have full confidence in a player who helped us win two Champions League titles. Fran is good in defense and also contributes a lot up front. He has the opportunity that I gave him have been given, used optimally.” he said.

Ancelotti highlighted the technical nature of the selection process, stating that the competition between Mendy and Garcia is a healthy one, with each being given opportunities to showcase their qualities. His faith in Mendy, however, remains unshaken, with the French defender continuing to hold a key role in the squad despite Garcia’s surge in form.
