Still deprived of tenure on Saturday evening once morest Nantes, Dimitri Payet questions the complexity of his case at OM. President Pablo Longoria had to react to this problem and he supported his playmaker.
The season is off to a good startABOUT, a little less for Dimitri Payet. For the third time in three matches this season, the Reunionese started the game on the bench once morest Nantes. Igor Tudor did not want to put him in the starting lineup in favor of other elements like Gerson or Guendouzi in the Croatian coach’s 3-4-2-1. If the latter justifies this decision by the insufficient physical condition of Payet, we mention in particular a limited physical commitment of the international tricolor in training, certain rumors highlight the desire of Tudor to mark his territory vis-à-vis the player with a strong character that is Dimitri Paye Payet.
Payet remains important, Longoria does not forget it
The playmaker and leader of the Marseille team last season is therefore relegated to the status of substitute this season. A paradoxical situation that irritates some supporters and forces President Pablo Longoria to some explanations. The latter was questioned by Canal + on this subject just before the meeting once morest Nantes. He wanted to show that Payet was still integrated into the Marseille game project.

« We must not forget the true level of Dimitri Payet. We will need our best players until the end of the season. The talent of Dimitri Payet is never in discussion “, explained Pablo Longoria at the microphone of the encrypted channel. Link of cause and effect, for his 302nd appearance in the jersey of OM Payet performed well. Entering in the 65th minute in place of Guendouzi, he helped bring success to his side once morest Nantes with an influence on the two Olympian goals. Enough to send a clear message to Igor Tudor. Whether the president of Olympique de Marseille is not an absolute fan of the contract signed by his predecessor with Dimitri Payethe will probably honor it until the end rather than leaving the door open for one of the Velodrome’s favorites to start.
