After making his debut in the OM-FC Sion match, Benjamin Mendy, the 18-year-old former Le Havre player, was officially presented in his new colors. Like Dimitri Payet, Mendy had his official presentation on Wednesday.
Expressing his pride in being a part of Marseille, the young defender is eager to secure a place in Elie Baup’s squad. Mendy views playing for OM as a significant step in his career and is determined not to miss the opportunity. He emphasized the importance of showcasing his qualities and improving his performance before thinking about making a big name for himself.
Described as “monstrous” by Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac, Mendy, who is of Franco-Senegalese descent, plans to leverage his physical attributes to achieve his goals. He acknowledges the challenges but is focused on taking advantage of his playing time and sees his arrival at the club as a bonus. Mendy believes that fear has no place in football and emphasizes the importance of proving one’s worth on the field. Marseille fans will likely be excited to see how Mendy contributes to the team’s success in the upcoming season.
