“When OM contacts you, it resonates with you”
“What attracted me was OM, first dropped the Central African international. I already had opportunities to go to the Premier League, it was a destination that I really liked, but when OM showed up, let’s say it changed my convictions.he said.
And the Nemourian adds:“It was the passion for this club, for this city, that attracted me. When we played ball in the neighborhood, downstairs from my house, next to Nandy (Seine-et-Marne), I remember a lot of OM jerseys, even if it was the era of domination from Lyon. We play football for emotions, for passion, so when OM contacts you, it resonates with you”.
