The story between Chancel Mbemba and Olympique de Marseille seems close to a bitter epilogue. Located from the Marseille group throughout the season, the Congolese central defender recently returned to his situation.
On the occasion of the World Cup playoff match against Madagascar (3-1), disputed Sunday with the Democratic Republic of Congo, the former FC Porto player confirmed his imminent departure from the Marseille city. Without resentment or anger, Mbemba took the opportunity to address its thanks to the Olympian supporters.
“I wet my jersey”
“My contract ends on June 30”he recalled after the success of his family. “When it is finished, I will say thank you to Marseille and to all the supporters of OM. I wet my jersey. God allowed me to get into the history of the club. I made two wonderful seasons. I didn't cheat. »»
The native of Kinshasa was also grateful to the support of his coach, Sébastien Desabre, and that of Congolese supporters. “It's life … Life is like that. I stayed calm, professional. I respected the club and my contract. God allowed me health. My body did not betray me. I am 100%. No one believed in me. The coach and all the Congolese people, them, yes. I worked thoroughly to keep the course as high as possible. The adventure will continue “said the captain of the leopards.
