Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Édouard Mendy’s “Little Brother” interview!
Some thought it was last for him, but they were wrong. Since Pau Lopez’s little blunder on the lawn of ASSE, Steve Mandanda had the chance to prove that he could still be the starter in the cages of Olympique de Marseille, and he did not miss it. Yesterday, he started again on the lawn of PAOK for this quarter-final return of the Europa League Conference. Author of a great performance, he disgusted his opponents to keep his clean sheet and greatly participate in the qualification of his people while Dimitri Payet was responsible for making the difference in front. A performance far from having gone unnoticed and which earned him beautiful tributes from his teammates, in particular from Cédric Bakambu.
“He came out quite a bit”
The striker recruited this winter did not hesitate to highlight his captain’s great evening after the match: “Steve Mandanda has always been a great goalkeeper. He has shown it again. Congratulations to the whole team, with a special mention to Steve, he came out of it a lot, he allowed us to go for the victory. Even before entering the field, we knew that we were going to suffer a big first quarter of an hour, because the PAOK wanted to catch up. We rounded our backs, our game fell into place and we were better.” An observation shared by Alexandros Paschalakis, the PAOK goalkeeper: “Mandanda is a very good goalkeeper, he is 37 years old, but I only have congratulations, bravos to send him, for everything he has done until now.” The main interested party will appreciate.
