Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy questioned the image published by FIFA, on Instagram, with the nominees for the position in the award The Best, in which the athlete appears without the shirt of his country, Senegal, while the other competitors wear the uniform of their respective national teams.
The player wrote in the stories: “Two days looking at this post and trying to find out why, but I still can’t. Is it normal for me to be the only one without the shirt of my country, Senegal? Is it fair for Senegal?”
Next, the Chelsea athlete posted an art made by a fan in which he wears Senegal’s shirt. Once again, the goalkeeper criticized the Federation.
“I appreciate the person who did this. Is it so difficult, FIFA?” he asked.
Mendy was nominated for the award The Best as goalkeeper of the year after winning the Champions League title with the Blues last season. Joining him are Manuel Neuer, from Bayern Munich, Gianluigi Donnarumma, from Paris Saint-Germain, Kasper Schmeichel, from Leicester City, and Alisson Becker, from Liverpool and the Brazilian national team.
