Tribute to Deschamps and Sampaoli
Dimitri Payet, admiring the path of the French team during the World Cup (“They made 67 million French people proud, they made children dream, they were able to teach life lessons”), has strong words for Didier Deschamps’ success at the helm of the Blues. ” The “cat”, he provokes himself. And you lose in the final, so he doesn’t have that many. Above all, he is a hard worker. He gets shot at every list, everyone wonders why he didn’t take such and such, but in the end, we usually say thank you for making us vibe. […] We can say what we want, but we have the best coach in the world, the best group creator that exists among coaches. »
When asked about all the coaches he has worked with at OM, the Marseille attacking midfielder made Jorge Sampaoli his own “fall in love with something”. “A coach with a vision of football that is mine, which corresponds to what I like when I’m on the pitch. A coach with a paternal relationship and an unshakable trust. » But the Argentine left the club in the middle of summer, which brought to mind the episode of Marcelo Bielsa, who had slammed the door on the evening of the first day, in August 2015. Once again, Payet has very good memories of “El site”: “It was one of my best seasons, with a new manager, a new way of playing and seeing football. It was he who transformed me, who gave me a vision of football that I still need today. He made me assume different responsibilities than those I already assumed. »
