Benjamin Mendy, the Next Balotelli in Man City

DBasia.news – Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy caught the attention. But not for the great performance on the pitch, it’s due to his action in social media.

Mendy is one of the players active in social media. Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, warned the player to reduce his activity on the Internet.

Mendy is Mendy. Sometimes we want to kill him and sometimes you think wow what a player we have. He gives us energy. Mendy has a lot of things to improve and hopefully we can convince him to forget a little bit the social media and improve a few things,” Guardiola said reported by Manchester Evening News.

The same thing confirmed by Manchester City captain, Vincent Kompany. The Belgium player considered Mendy has similarity like Mario Balotelli.

“We had Balotelli, now we have Mendy. But Mendy has a heart of gold – he is such a nice person, and a character,” Kompany said.

“He doesn’t see the same boundaries as we sometimes do. The lines are blurred sometimes between what should be done and what shouldn’t.”

Balotelli and Mendy have similarity. They often looking for sensation.

“I love him for what he offers on the pitch. It’s a big season for him and I hope we’ll see the best of him as well,” he added.

Manchester City got Benjamin Mendy from AS Monaco worth £51M during the 2017-2018 season. Unfortunately, the France player couldn’t prove his talent due to the injuries.
