Leaving Olympique de Marseille at the end of July, the Reunionese arrived in Brazil with great fanfare on Wednesday 16 August. The player has signed his new contract with the Rio de Janeiro club, which is currently penultimate in the Brazilian championship.
Reunion playmaker Dimitri Payet said on Friday that he intends to help his new club, Vasco da Gama, regain its rightful place in Brazilian football. The Rio de Janeiro club is currently fighting to stay in the Brazilian first division.
“There is a quality team around me, there have been some choice recruitments and we will all be united in order to achieve our objectives and give Vasco back its rightful place”said the former Marseille and French international during his official presentation.
Dimitri Payet, 36, received a very warm welcome from hundreds of supporters of the Rio team on his arrival Wednesday at Rio International Airport. Fans hope Payet will help the team stay in the Premier League. She currently occupies the 19ᵉ and penultimate place following eighteen matches.
There are several reasons why I came here. The first is that I am someone who likes challenges, pressure. The second is that Vasco is a similar club to where I was, Olympique de Marseille, and I don’t think Vasco is where it should be today.
