“It looks incredible.” Who convinced him to come to U and details about his life

U Cluj impresses in the Superliga, and in the play-offs, after a fanfare qualification in the top 6. Moreover, the last “Red Caps” players at the end of the winter market are among the best in the domestic championship.

The defender Andrei Coubiș, 22 years old, is on the radar of the national representatives, and the extreme left Oucasse Mendy, 24 years old, is going through a remarkable period. The last one was again decisive for U Cluj.

600thousands of euros is Mendy's share on transfermarkt

Remarkable figures for Oucasse Mendy: goal + assist again! After FCSB (3-1), followed CFR Cluj (2-1)

The footballer who arrived this winter from La Louviere, from the Belgian first league, is in his second consecutive match in which he scores and provides an assist! After 3-1 with FCSB at the National Arena, it was 2-1 with CFR Cluj at the Cluj Arena!

Oucasse forms an extraordinary attacking trio with Jovo Lukic and Issouf Macalou. The numbers from the Cluj Derby are exceptional for Mendy:

• Decisive goal for the U's victory in the 90th minute, unstoppable header that ends the arch rivals' 11-game winning streak.

• Assist for Lukic's goal, which equalized for the Red Caps.

• 5 recoveries

• 80 percent successful dribbles during the match.

• 8 of the 11 offensive duels won.

• 81 percent accurate passes successful, 17 of 21.

• 4 fouls earned.

Recommendations from Issouf Macalou and Tony Strata. He is the brother of the African champion, center back Antoine Mendy

Oucasse Mendy can perform in all positions in attack. He is the older brother of Antoine Mendy, 21 years old, the stopper of Nice, champion of Africa with the national team of Senegal two months ago.

“I convinced him in the winter to come to U after I presented him with the project, the fact that we want to compete in the European cups. He spoke with Macalou before he signed and received good references”, told GSP.ro those from U Cluj.

“Apart from Macalou, Tony Strata also spoke nicely about Cluj and Romania. They knew each other from France, a kind word mattered a lot. Tony Strata at U Cluj in the summer? Not really! Guimaraes wants to sell Strata for a lot of money, he can't come to Romania,” the Transylvanians also said.

The best memories with my brother come from when we were little and playing football, because I was older, I dominated him a bit. I remember him crying, getting angry. They are very beautiful memories, which I will keep for the rest of my life. I hope one day to play with him in the national team of Senegal

Oucasse Mendy in Cluj Napoca: “He likes it a lot, he says it's a beautiful life”

“He likes Cluj a lot, he says that it's a beautiful life, that the weather is good and the people are kind and friendly”, pointed out those who know Mendy. He is very good friends off the pitch with Macalou, Drammeh, Cisse and Postolachi, all French speakers.

“He is a good boy. Muslim, he observes Ramadan,” added the people from Cluj.

“Our fans also helped us a lot. We didn't play a bad game neither offensively nor defensively. We got that goal in the end, that was the story of this game.

There are always complicated games with strong teams. We came close to first place, it seems incredible. We'll take it match by match and we'll do everything possible,” said Mendy at the end of the match decided by his goal.

Raised at Olimpique de Marseille and later moved to Montpellier, the Frenchman with Senegalese parents confessed that he feels good in any offensive position: “My favorite position is on the left side, but I don't mind playing on the right or as a striker either. I'm well adapted.”
