Guardiola commented that it was Mendy who asked him to testify at the trial and spoke about the Frenchman’s personality.
“He is a great boy. I would say he is very generous. He is always happy and I remember that when we are all together and someone asks for a favor, if he could, he would do it. He adapted very quickly to the team and was very happy to be able to help their peers,” he added.
