Arriving at OL last summer from Nottingham Forest, for the sum of 30 million euros, defender Moussa Niakhaté is hardly unanimous. Regardless, he understands the criticism.
The discussion clashes. Because it is rather rare for a professional footballer to respond to supporters on social networks. Especially when he faces criticism of his game and does not meet expectations due to the high price of his transfer. This is the case for Moussa Niakhaté's OL who cannot achieve unanimous support.
But unlike many pros, Niakhaté decided to justify himself. With simple words and without a trace of irritation. So when on
“Before being a professional footballer. I was like everyone else, a Football fan. So I know what it’s like to support a club or a country. I have the most popular profession in the world. Most loved and watched. Football fans. or a club are those who keep football alive by their coming to the stadium, their declarations of love, their criticism, etc. I have the best job in the world. So he has the right and is right to make what he thinks heard. And he must continue because if we prevent this, it will be the end of football as I knew and loved it. So my price is normal for people to talk about it, and it's not a problem, I like the responsibilities and the demands placed on me.«
Rare. And class.
