Mathieu Valbuena once again returned to his controversial signing at Olympique Lyonnais as a legend of Olympique de Marseille. The former French international assures that the rivalry was not the same.
A new release from Mathieu Valbuena that can be described as clumsy. The former French international was asked about his choice to sign for Olympique Lyonnais after his long and exciting experience at Olympique de Marseille. The person concerned assured that for him the rivalry was intense with Paris Saint-Germain but not as much with OL.
“I would never have wanted to go to Paris. Because, for me, Paris is really the rival. Whether it's sporting or non-sporting, there's everything. When I was in Lyon, even if I know that 'there was a sporting rivalry, it wasn't a club we hated', said Valbuena at the microphone of Free Foot.
Following this controversial two-year stint in Lyon, Valbuena lost his legendary status for some. The French pocket winger even saw a puppet in his likeness being hung during his visit to the Vélodrome, reflecting the growing disenchantment of certain Ultras towards him.
Since then, the tension does not seem to have subsided and this type of speech should fuel this mixed feeling against him. We recall that he played for eight seasons in Marseille.
