Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has admitted that he doesn’t count clean sheets while talking up the importance of a strong team dynamic with regards to the art of defending.
The 29-year-old has recorded 22 shut-outs in his first 38 outings across all competitions for the Blues, but is refusing to take sole credit for their defensive prowess.
“I know I made a lot of clean sheets but I’m not counting them,” Mendy told France Football.
“That’s because it’s not something that I make on my own. The goalkeeper is as important as the guy in front of him. At the end of the day, I’m the one who has to make the stops, yes.
“But in front of me, there is a whole structure, ten players who move and complicate the task of the opponent. It’s a team performance and not something I can own on my own.”
