Djibril Cissé will have played 80 matches with OM during his career. But his adventure ultimately ended badly since he was forced to request his transfer following a huge imbroglio. Indeed, the French striker revealed that being placed on the bench without the slightest explanation had motivated his desire to leave.
Despite serious injuries, Djibril Cisse will have had a very good career with the regret of not having reached the 100 goal mark in Ligue 1. Indeed, the legend of the AJ Auxerre stopped at 96 units but it could have been very different if Eric Gerets had not confined him to a replacement role overnight without the slightest explanation, the reason which had pushed him to leave OM.
“I didn't understand”
Guest of the show Zack Freewheeling Friday evening, Djibril Cisse gave behind-the-scenes accounts of his departure. At present, he still does not know why he lost his starting place.
“Spending a season on the bench doesn’t suit me”
« I didn't understand, until today I ask myself questions because I finished very strong. Afterwards I do a very good preparation. First championship match we drew and from there I played 4 matches in a row on the bench. No explanation, they didn't tell me why so I didn't understand. Spending a season on the bench doesn't suit me so I'm leaving for Sunderland. The coach didn't tell me anything, he just didn't make me play. For my career it had to change », explained Djibril Cisse.
