Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
Former French international, Gaël Givet spoke about his career and in particular his time at OM (2007-2009). The central defender does not have any wonderful memories of his Marseille adventure. When morale was at zero, the player had started discussions with several Ligue 1 teams, including ASSE.
Gaël Given did not last long for OM. Arrived in 2007 after a more than successful debut atAS Monaco, the central defender flew to the'England two years later. But the former French international had the possibility of staying in France.
Givet reveals contacts with ASSE
« Looking back, my career was above all a passion for football, I never saw it as a job. My experience at OM was not the best of my career. At one point, I was in contact with FC Nantes when I was in difficulty at Marseille, there was also Saint-Etienne» confided Granted.
“I don’t want to be an old fool, but…”
Granted will join Blackburn before returning to France. Retired from the field in 2016, he has since distanced himself from this environment. “I don't want to be an old fool, but I remember that when I was 16 and I arrived at training, we were all rushing to put on our boots to go on the field, touch the ball, make passes. Above all, we were passionate about football. Today, young people have to go look for them in the locker room because they are on their phones looking at Instagram, TikTok or shit like that.” he said during an interview with West France.
