In the early morning, it was a great surprise to discover stickers bearing the image of Dimitri Payet, never mentioned but perfectly recognizable, even from behind, on many trash cans in the city of Nice.
Glass containers, where it is common to throw away your bottles. With the inscriptions “Issa Nissa” and “see you Sunday”.
If the initiative was not claimed, it is a teasing nod to the bottle throwing of which the former Olympian midfielder was the victim in November 2021 at the Allianz Riviera, which led the match to be interrupted and then replayed.
-It is also a way to raise the temperature before Sunday's clash in Nice between the second in L1 and the fifth, as well as a fun way to invite the people of Nice to mobilize.
At the time of writing these lines, the stadium was struggling to fill with just over 25,000 tickets sold. Too little for such a display between European competitors.
