Dimitri Payet returns to his rant in Marseille!
Following OM’s defeat against Clermont (0-2), Dimitri Payet to push a rant against his partners. An outing again mentioned by the Marseille captain.
OM: Dimitri Payet accepts his proposals
Last week, the tension went up a notch at Olympique de Marseille. While OM hope to take advantage of the visit of Clermont to consolidate their second place in Ligue 1 and widen the gap with their pursuers, the men of Jorge Sampaoli were surprised by the promoted Clermont (defeat, 0-2). At the end of this disappointment, some Marseillais had strong remarks, this is in particular the case of Dimitri Payet.
The Marseille captain did not go with the back of the spoon, while pointing the finger at the attitude displayed by his teammates against the Auvergnats. He castigated the lack of humility of his partners, inviting everyone to “deflate heads”. A media outing that emitted lively comments and continues to make people talk. About ten days after this rant, Dimitri Payet reversed his exit. And the least we can say is that the Reunionese assumes his words. “I said the same thing in the locker room, I’m transparent. I never say hot things that I don’t mean”he declared at the microphone of RMC.
The self-criticism of Dimitri Payet
Following this surprising defeat against Clermont, Olympique de Marseille held a crisis meeting where each player was invited to give their thoughts. It was then an opportunity for Dimitri Payet to reiterate its proposals internally. Through this rant, the Marseille captain first wanted to make his self-criticism, before sounding the alarm. “When I say something, I see myself first. We had attitudes in this match that were not those we had until now. There was a relaxation, a state of mind which is not the one that brought us to this 2nd place. I wanted to sound the alarm”he added.
