The "creator" Dimitri Payet puts out another controversy with a nugget

• After two pale 0-0 against Angers and Bordeaux, OM resumed its march forward by winning (0-2) at Saint-Etienne.
• The lightning, as often came from Dimitri Payet in the Cauldron. But then what a flash, between a rush on the left wing with passing legs, hooks, and a subtle exter 'in a closed angle to mystify Stéphane Ruffier.
• This personal exploit follows a controversial exit from the captain of OM on his future the day before at a press conference.

At the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium (Saint-Etienne),

OM should perhaps encourage Dimitri Payet to participate in all the pre-match press conferences, sprinkling everything from punchlines to controversies. Because after his XXL match against OL (2-1) in November, in the wake of huge tackles against Rudi Garcia in conf ', the Marseille captain once again put the pressure on Tuesday by confiding possible desires elsewhere next summer. And once again, he assumed on the ground in a stunning manner.

With the highlight of a prime candy from the 7th minute of play, the kind to air condition the Cauldron as had been able to do Hatem Ben Arfa, then great slalomeur from Nice, in September 2015. Judge rather the coup de radiance: Dimitri Payet inherits a balloon from Valentin Rongier on the left wing and runs into a Yann M'Vila at top speed.

Simply SUBLIME @ dimpayet17 🎯💥

"With him and Mandanda at this level ..."

Already destabilized by a passing of legs and an acceleration, the Saint-Etienne environment is then completely mystified, just like Mathieu Debuchy behind him, by two hooks chained by the Reunionese. In a closed angle and on his left foot, he dares an exter 'that nobody in the stadium anticipates, and certainly not Stéphane Ruffier, author of a fatal side step.

"His goal is that of a creative and opportunistic player," sums up André Villas-Boas. Ruffier thinks he's going to center on it, and Dimitri has been very good and decisive for us again. With him and Mandanda at this level ... "OM have little problem in their quest for the Champions League (now six points ahead of Rennes, 3rd), would we be tempted to slip to complete the phrase from the Portuguese coach.

Thank you for joining our Dimitri Payet Talent League.

"I would like to know if he really did it on purpose"

Morgan Sanson also praises "the creator" Dimitri Payet, the one who "improves the team with passes that few players can find". As on the second goal of Nemanja Radonjic (0-2, 85th), on which he shifts perfectly Sanson, decisive passer for the Serb just after. In a rain of compliments predictable and legitimate on Wednesday, given his crucial role in the bluffing course of OM this season (10 goals and 5 assists in all competitions), the freshness of Bouna Sarr does not hurt.

"It is not for thrilling but I would like to review the images to find out if he really did it on purpose", dares the former Messin. Do not count on us to consider for a moment classify this little gem in the category of involuntary and lucky shooting centers of Taye Taiwo and others. And if the interested party gave a brief reaction to Canal + after his nice performance, he traced his route in the mixed zone. Let it be said, this Dimitri Payet prefers to speak before the (big) games.
