“Disgusting” or “good sporting coup”: the arrival of Benjamin Mendy divides FC Lorient supporters

Benjamin Mendy in Lorient, the announcement is surprising. Accused and tried for several rapes and attempted rapes, the defender, acquitted five days ago, has already found a club. Announced this Wednesday morning, his signing for two years caused a huge reaction. Between detractors and sympathizers, the arrival of the world champion has in any case not left the supporters of the Hakes indifferent. But they are far from being on the same wavelength. When some believe that the leaders should “be ashamed” of having hired the former Manchester City player, others point out “that he was cleared” and that at 29 he can be “a good sporting recruit” for the Hakes.
