“I was looking for an opportunity to show my abilities”
Edouard Mendy returned to his departure of OM and in particular on the reasons which pushed him to leave. “I had the opportunity to stay in Marseille, but there was no point in doing so to be third goalkeeper behind Steve Mandanda and Yohann Pelé. I had just started again, Ligue 2 clubs contacted me, so the challenge was to find an ambitious club, which could offer me playing time. Be careful, I was leaving a season with the reserve of the 'OM, so I wasn't going to demand a number one spot, but I was looking for an opportunity to show my abilities. This is what Reims offered me: a chance. I grabbed it, I got to know Ligue 2 and Ligue 1. Behind Rennes, it was the club that gave me a new rhythm, matches every three days ”confided the goalkeeper of Chelsea in an interview with So Foot.
