Edouard Mendy recalled his immediate absence from the club six years ago at Stamford Bridge No1.
He told the club’s official website: “If they had told me, I would end up at Chelsea, I wouldn’t have bothered to look at them or pay attention to them. “
“It was very complicated because on the one hand you have the anger of being out of club by the agent I was with, but also the sadness of not being able to play on the weekend, of not being able to do what I love.
“It’s actually difficult, a year is a long time for a footballer. Fortunately, I can count on my circle of relatives and they helped me through that and recover and get to where I am today. “
CECH MATE
Edouard Mendy has opened to petr Cech de Rennes to Chelsea.
He told the club’s official website: “I know Petr Cech has been watching my matches for several years and it’s great to hear that he said he liked my profile and the way he played.
“So after my season in Rennes, the offer came here from Chelsea and it is a great pride for me to join this club, and thanks to Petr and also Christoph [Lollichon – an existing Chelsea manager and former Rennes man] who they followed me.
“Here at Chelsea, obviously, everyone approved of my signing, and now it’s my turn to show that they were right to take an interest in me and bring me to the club.
“Being in a club where players with such a smart purpose have played is and very vital to me. I’m aware of the expectations surrounding the player position with a purpose at Chelsea, but I’m not going to put certainty about myself and compare myself to the legends here. “I just arrived, so my purpose is to keep progressing and when the coach asks me, make sure I’m there for the team and help you with your success.
ON THE PATH OF RECOVERY
Edouard Mendy said he had an appointment with Kepa Arrizabalaga.
He told the club’s official website: “I have a very date with Kepa.
“The organization of goalkeepers that we have, we are all very open, and we all perceive that the team is the ultimate here and that they do the right thing for the organization. Our relationships are already very good.
“We paint well in combination and strive both day by day and both, and we know as goalkeepers that we have to stick together and that’s right now.
DEFENDING THE FRONT
Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United can benefit from Chelsea’s inability to identify a strong pair of centre-backs.
He’s the Webby YouTube channel
“Because of the Spurs game, because of Palace’s game, we can’t really slip. I think we’re in good shape.
“Chelsea is a team.
“They’ve had a blank blade, they’re a damaging team in advance, yet you can attack them in the back.
“As long as we cancel their offensive options, I think we’re going to score goals. “
STAY CALM AND KEPA ON
Here’s why Chelsea felt the desire to ask Petr Cech to come out of retirement. . .
FAN VIEW
Simon Phillips of SunSport writes: “There was a moment in Chelsea’s match against Southampton last Saturday that really made me feel like this might be the last time Kepa Arrizabalaga plays for the Blues.
“Spain’s foreigner came here out of his purpose and has won an opinion that he was 95% in favour of victory, but inexplicably absolutely missed the ball and Southampton scored.
“I think it was the last straw for Frank Lampard, and the 10% confidence he had in Kepa disappeared immediately.
“All the players made mistakes, but Kepa’s mistakes were too consistent, and Lampard made a radical change.
“This week, surprise and horror, the retired 38-year-old goalkeeper turned technical director, Petr Cech, got rid of retirement through Chelsea and added to his 25-man team for the season.
“Cech has been reintroduced because Lampard is concerned about his options.
“For me, bringing Cech back is more of a matter of strengthening your booking options than bringing you as an emergency fourth doorman.

Chelsea were interested in signing up for the Swiss foreigner this summer, but decided to brake after spending more than 250 million pounds on signings.
FORMER TUTORS
Petr Cech’s inclusion in Chelsea’s Premier League team has caught the eye.
The veteran 38-year-old goalkeeper withdrew from the game at the end of the 2018-19 campaign.

But boss Frank Lampard believes the former Arsenal player can do an emergency job.
Surprisingly, he is the 19dest officially registered player this season.
FANS GOOD MORNING BLUES
Jorginho took on an additional task as Thiago Silva’s English instructor for the Brazilian superstar to move to Chelsea.
Brazil-born Italian Jorginho also plays the role of unofficial translator in the locker room, and is helping the team solve defensive problems.
Thiago, 36, signed loose this summer from Paris Saint-Germain and is even considered a key figure behind him even though his knowledge of English is minimal.
The 28-year-old midfielder Jorginho said: “When you have questions or doubts, you ask me and I ask you if I can, because my English is not very good.
“I taught him ‘man in’, ‘turn’ or if he’s on the other side, ‘we change the game’. The things you want on the floor. ” Man in, “fall” or “up. “
“We are looking to help others. That’s what you do on and off the field.
“He’s satisfied here. He’s a wonderful personality, a wonderful player with a lot of experience.
“He’s helping us all as a group, the young players, everyone.
“Discover a way to communicate, either with your hands or talk to me and I give the data to others. We’re looking for a way. “
Silva himself revealed that an argument on the education floor had been the way he learned that Petr Cech was preparing for Chelsea.
He told Esporte Interativo: “He’s a guy we shouldn’t give up on. His story is very nice in football. “
“We talked a little bit, he speaks a little French, so we have a little more discussion than usual.
“And the other day I saw him exercise and asked him why he exercised, if it was because he liked it or if he had a chance to be with us.
He said he was training, so if he needed it, whatever the chance, he might play.
And finally, Frank Lampard has distanced Chelsea from discussions about a European Super League.
Liverpool and Premier League rivals Liverpool United are at the forefront of plans to upgrade the Champions League with an even more lucrative alternative.
But Lampard told reporters after Tuesday’s draw with Sevilla: “I don’t know enough about it.
“I love the Premier League, I love the product, as we all do in England.
“I’m a big fan of reading headlines like I did today.
“Chelsea, as far as I’m concerned, are aiming for the Premier League. “
BOLD TRAFFORD
Chelsea will then go to Manchester United on Saturday to a 4-0 coup in Frank Lampard’s first Premier League match as coach.
Jorginho said: “We seek to be a strong team, fitting so many goals. We have to work on it, but it’s hard.
“Goals and small main points can make a difference in the end.
“We want to paint on other things to improve, but I think we’re on the right track.
“We want to protect the internal surface, how to press and not turn off stopped games.
“These main points make a big difference. We have to be aware all the time. We are looking to do that.
“Thiago (Silva) helped a lot, he spoke a lot. Defensively, he has great delight and knows football tactically, so he’s helping us all a lot.
“He’s been betting on a high point for a long time. I think it’s easy to see he’s a wonderful player on the field.
CLASS ACT
Jorginho took on an additional task as Thiago Silva’s English instructor for the Brazilian superstar to move to Chelsea.
Brazil-born Italian Jorginho also plays the role of unofficial translator in the locker room, and is helping the team solve defensive problems.
Thiago, 36, signed loose this summer from Paris Saint-Germain and is even considered a key figure behind him even though his knowledge of English is minimal.
The 28-year-old midfielder Jorginho said: “When you have questions or doubts, you ask me and I ask you if I can, because my English is not very good.

STAY CALM AND KEPA ON
Gianfranco Zola admits that he surprised with Kepa Arrizabalaga’s dramatic fall at Chelsea.
SPORT speaks: “I’m very surprised.
“I know he’s very young and came to Chelsea for a lot of money and it’s a big burden to carry on his shoulders, and that’s probably going to affect him.
“I may perceive a little difficulty, but it goes beyond expected and surprised me. And I’m sorry for the boy because he’s a smart kid and a smart doorman. “
“You have to get up and do what you can do and show others that it’s different, because I think it has potential. “
