Manuel Neuer pointed this rising goalkeeper as his successor

Manuel Neuer is unarguably a revolutionary goalkeeper. The first keeper sweeper has changed the way of seeing the position at the point that a big number of teams around the world want their keepers to play like he does. At 34 years old, he is still one of the best in the planet, if not the best.

And today he talked about the brotherhood of goalkeepers. He knows that is the position that receives the most criticism, so he is supportive of his colleagues and encourages other keepers to always have their backs. In this sense, he praised a keeper who has just appeared in a big team and is performing better than expected.

Neuer referred to Edouard Mendy, who has just signed for Chelsea and impressed everybody. The German said it is great to see a keeper settling so quickly in a big team like he did, and wants to see more keepers like him. The UEFA Champions League champion showed his pride for Mendy and wants him to definitely become world class.

Edouard Mendy is 28 years old and arrived in England after having a great season with Rennes and prior, be an unkwnown keeper at Stade de Reims. At Chelsea, he managed to get nine clean sheets in his first 12 games. His start reminds everyone of Petr Cech, who also had come to Chelsea from Rennes.
