Relegated to the bench during the first part of the season, Dimitri Payet could find the light as soon as the championship resumes.
Olympique de Marseille attacks the championship on Thursday evening with an opposition against Toulouse at the Vélodrome. A match that Dimitri Payet could well play from the start. While he only started six times before the break, the Réunionnais is expected to have a role more in line with his status during the second part of the exercise.
Payet more determined than ever
Igor Tudor, the Olympian coach, intends to rely on the Reunionese to relaunch his Marseille training. The Croatian would have ended up recognizing that he needs the former French international to obtain the results. The quality and also the experience of the latter are assets that he can no longer do without. A manager of the vice-champions of France confirmed this change of course to L’Équipe: “The minutes between attackers will be distributed differently, and Payet, with his more creative style, will be able to exist in certain types of match. It is this overall balance that counts. »
The Croatian coach will therefore give his number 10 a chance. And the latter is also determined to seize it. “Our orientation for the second half of the season is that Payet must be an important player in the attacking positions. In his mentality, his attitude, you can feel a real determination,” added the Olympian source.
