Benjamin Mendy

Benjamin Mendy is a player I find hard to discuss without acknowledging how sharply his story turned. Born in Longjumeau in 1994, a powerful 185 cm left-back, he reached the heights with Marseille and Manchester City and even received the Legion of Honour. Talent on the pitch was never the question; his overlapping runs defined the modern attacking full-back. But football careers rarely move in straight lines, and he now plays in Poland's Ekstraklasa. My honest take is that the footballing gift was real and considerable. Whatever else, I hope he finds steady form again and lets the game speak for him.
