Benjamin Mendy was a good boy, but he didn't know what the player did in his spare time, according to the court testimony of the Manchester City manager.

Seven counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, and one count of sexual assault against six young women have been denied by Mr. Mendy.

The French player was liked by the City boss but he didn't know how he spent his spare time.

He said he was not his father.

He said that he was only interested in Mr Mendy as a player and that he wasn't able to look after all the other players.

Mr Mendy told the court that he had broken Covid-19 regulations more than once.

Mr Guardiola told the court that he had spoken to the player and that Mr Mendy had accepted that he had done the wrong thing.

The player is accused of rape.

He said that he was here because he was asked to be with all of the people.
