“I feel good, even though I’m not at peak physical condition yet. Unfortunately, the team is not performing well, but we’re hanging in there,” Mendès shared in comments reported by Voix du Nord. He acknowledged that endurance is still a work in progress but emphasized that he no longer experiences pain while playing or training.
Reflecting on Lille’s recent form, Mendès expressed concern about the team’s performance but remained determined to work through the challenges. “I don’t know what’s happening… We are aware that we are not performing as well. Is it a lack of fighting spirit? We need to work harder, and I hope we can regain our mindset from before,” he remarked.
Mendès acknowledged the team’s struggles in the attacking department, recognizing it as a collective issue that needs to be addressed. Despite currently sitting third in Ligue 1, Lille is determined to bounce back and rediscover their winning form.
