'I don't count clean sheets' - Mendy shuns limelight for Chelsea's defensive record & reflects on first season

Chelsea No.1 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.

Mendy has quickly established himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the Premier League since joining Chelsea from Rennes for £22 million ($31m) last summer.

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.
