True architect of the victory of Les Herbiers against FC Nantes B yesterday during the 4th day of N2, Anthony Payet scored a quadruple in 62 minutes. An exceptional performance that he summed up to us when he had already opened his goal counter (s) this season: “I’m very happy with my performance and to have been able to help the team to win. We take the three points at home, that’s the most important” confided the little brother of OM playmaker Dimitri Payet. And yet, before achieving this high level performance, the former Romorantin player could have doubted: “At the start of the match, I missed a penalty, the equalizer” he whispered before resuming the thread of events: “I remained calm as the coach asked us. I managed to score quite quickly on a cross behind Manu. I felt better and confident. On a similar action following a cross from the right delivered by Jeff Assoumin, I control in the box and I adjust the goalkeeper“confided the one who registered his double there.
His first quadruplet
A third goal full of opportunism following an opposing pass countered victoriously makes him forget his failure at the start of the game. Before concluding with a personal festival during his fourth production: “I go on the right side in my camp and I manage to eliminate a defender. I go inside the box, I get rid of another on a hook and I finish with a strike at the near post.” Four goals in nearly an hour to meet the achievements of Merlin, Dabo and Manvelyan, so this is what Anthony Payet accomplished against the professional reserve of FC Nantes: “I am very satisfied and proud because it is my first quadrupled and especially my first goals at Massabielle. It allows to start well at home and to bring back the 3 points in front of a big crowd” the Vendée confided with satisfaction before highlighting the contribution of the collective: “It is thanks to the team that I was able to create all these chances for myself, so I would like to thank them because I am right there at the end of all the work done by the group. We take the third goal at 15 minutes of the end so it was a pretty tough end to the match but we were able to stay solid together, a real tight-knit group. “
