The week of Olympique de Marseille was marked by the unexpected departure of Dimitri Payet.
The information had the effect of a small bomb: Dimitri Payet leaves Olympique de Marseille. Emblematic player of the Marseille club, the attacking midfielder confirmed his departure this Friday in front of the press, not without emotion. After a difficult year under the tutelage of Igor Tudor, Payet, a historic executive from the recent era of OM, is packing his bags one year from the end of his contract.
With great transparency, Payet returned to the reasons for this unexpected end. He claims to have no bitterness. ” There is no anger. I would have taken it badly if the club had not been correct with me. They were more than correct. It’s soccer. As the years go by, we tend to play less, but we have to respect their decisions, respect what they are putting in place. I will be the first supporter of OM“.
Goal playing time for Payet
One thing is certain: Dimitri Payet does not seem ready to hang up his crampons. The former French international simply wants to find a team that allows him to have playing time. “I would like to continue playing football. I’m coming out of a very difficult season with little playing time…he explained, in tears. It’s going to be hard… I just want to play, to find pleasure on the pitch again. I want to apologize to my teammates…, added the ex-captain of OM, overwhelmed with emotion. I received a lot of messages but didn’t reply to anyone because I couldn’t speak. I apologize to them…“, he concluded.
