Time and life often take unexpected turns, leaving many players’ fates out of their hands. This explains the current situation of Ferland Mendy, who has become a growing source of questions among Real Madrid fans.
Real Madrid is preparing for today’s match against Getafe, as they aim to regain their rhythm and secure three points at the Santiago Bernabéu, moving closer to the top following Barcelona’s unexpected loss to Las Palmas. However, as the match approaches, there seems to be uncertainty regarding the starting lineup, especially in certain positions, with the left-back spot being particularly unclear.
The primary reason for this uncertainty is the ongoing internal debate at the club regarding Ferland Mendy. He came under heavy criticism for his unconvincing performance against Liverpool at Anfield, where he failed to make an impact in attack and did not live up to his defensive reputation. This disappointment has led to frustration among Real Madrid fans.
According to Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” Fran García is gaining momentum in the competition for the left-back position. Even within the coaching staff, García is now seen as more than just a backup for Mendy, with David Ancelotti considering him to be “better” than the French defender.
