People seems to forget Mendy has more clean cheat and Mendy won the tournament . what's the essence the award if your team didn't win the trophy
Re: AFCON 2021: I Was Better Than Mendy – Egypt Keeper, Abou-Gabal by Afonasa(m): 3:43pm On Feb 08, 2022
As a Chelsea and one that know Mendy was cheated in the last ballon d'or award,

I think the Egyptian keeper was cheated, but we still don't know on which bases is the award given,aside that bias,I hope Chelsea fans understand that Mendy was not the best keeper of the tournament

I guess the organisers always want to give these personal awards to players from the winning team. Vincent Aboubacar should have been the player of the tournament with his contributions for Cameroon. The Egyptian keeper was definitely more influential for his team than Mendy (and this is not belittling Mendy's immense contribution to Senegal)

I guess in things like these, it's winners takes all. I like that Egyptian goalkeeper and I think he may have used this tournament to "chance" their No 1

Nonsense! You were better than Mendy but Mendy helped his team win the cup while both of you had exactly the same opportunities.

Actually the Egyptian goalkeeper is really popular in Egypt, he plays for the top local club.

I think it's because Abubakar won the highest goal scorers award, he should have been best player of the tournament.

Mane still deserve the best player of the tournament but the best goalkeeper, even Kofi of Burkina Faso performed far better than Mendy

robosky02:
Edward Mendy is far bigger than him


And is the next world best
I think that's what CAF wants to promote
Same can be said for Mane

Even that Egyptian defender merits best player of the tournament, but had it been Egypt won you'll see CAF give Sallah the award.

There are some politics in there

He's a really influential player in the team. Coming on in the 3rd place game and turning it around like that should have swayed it his way whether or not he had won golden boot. Football and it's politics is a different game.

Against Morocco I believe, he tried to push beyond the pain barrier knowing that his replacement was a very inexperienced young chap. Was willing to sacrifice his health for the team. Great guy. Top notch performer. It's however terribly sad to see people try and castigate him for using his water bottle in the PK. In my books, absolutely NOTHING WRONG with that. It just showed how very detailed the Egyptians (and most of North Africa) are. They has spent time researching all the Senegalese players and where they place their PKs
