#5 Marcelo is his role model
Trending
Real Madrid possess arguably the best left-back in the game today in the form of Marcelo, and Mendy looks up to the 29-year-old Brazilian for his inspiration.
A three-time Champions League winner and four-time Spanish title holder, there are few better players to learn from, with Marcelo having apparently struck the perfect balance between attack and defence, a equilibrium that Mendy admits that he is still lacking.
“I watch his control, his crossing and I like his defensive qualities. That’s something I miss, to be a little more defensive in my soul. Leonardo Jarim often takes me aside at training to insist upon it,” Mendy admitted to Le Parisien.
