“He asked me to join you all today, your honor. And that’s why I’m here. (…) He is an exceptional player. He is a very good person. He likes to have fun and makes people happy. It’s hard to find a person in the locker room who talks bad about him. (…) If I control my players in training, I don’t know what they do in their private lives. I am not his father“, underlined the Spanish technician.
As a reminder, Benjamin Mendy has been accused of seven counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual assault. If he is found guilty of the charges against him, Benjamin Mendy faces between 5 and 20 years in prison.
