Player career

society

Steve Mandanda comes from the youth of the French club Le Havre AC . There he was appointed to the first team in 2005 and played with the team in Ligue 2 for two years . In the summer of 2007 he was signed by the French first division club Olympique Marseille . There he went into the season as a nominally second goalkeeper, but became a regular at the beginning of the season due to an injury to the club's regular keeper, Cédric Carrasso . He later played for Olympique in the UEFA Cup and Champions League . From July 2016 he received a three-year contract with Crystal Palace , but could not prevail and only played nine league games.

In June 2017 he moved back to Olympique Marseille.

National team

Mandanda was used four times at the 2006 U-21 European Championship in Portugal , where he reached the semi-finals with the French. On February 5, 2008 he played half time for the French national B team against the DR Congo . On the other side, his younger brother was playing parfait.

Mandanda played his first international match on May 27, 2008 in the preparation game for the 2008 European Championship against Ecuador , when he came on for Sébastien Frey at halftime . France won 2-0. At the European Championship finals in 2008 he was part of the French squad , but was not used. After the EM there was a generation change in the goal of the French. From now on, Mandanda fought with one year younger Hugo Lloris for the place as number 1. In the first two qualifying games in September 2008 for the 2010 World Cup, the goalkeeper was in the starting line-up in both games. In his first competitive game for the national team on September 6, 2008, he suffered a 3-1 defeat against Austria . At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa he was part of the squad of the Equipe Tricolore , but Hugo Lloris was given preference. So Mandanda remained without commitment. Four years later, Mandanda was also nominated for the World Cup in Brazil , but had to cancel a few days later due to an injury in the last game.

The 2016 European Championship took place in France, so there were no qualifying matches for the French national team. In the period before the tournament, Mandanda played half a dozen friendly matches and then stood as the second goalkeeper behind Lloris in the French squad . The same constellation arose in the squad for the 2018 World Cup , in which Mandanda was allowed to play a preliminary round match. Then he was no longer used for a year and a quarter; He only succeeded in doing this again in October 2019, when Lloris injured himself shortly before two decisive European Championship qualifiers for the Bleus and Steve Mandanda played his international matches number 29 and 30.
