I will give everything for OL and its supporters. I hope we will go far in the Champions League and we will have a good season in Ligue 1. (…) I want to play as many matches as possible. Regarding the team of France, we will talk about it later. »

In competition with the Brazilian Marçal, Ferland Mendy convinced his leaders to offer him a new commitment. "We made a diagnosis with Bruno (Genesio), Florian (Maurice), Gérard (Houllier) and Bernard (Lacombe) on the past season, which was good, and especially on the performances of our young talents, says, of his side, JMA. Our first goal, even before strengthening, is to preserve our skeleton by extending our young players.
