Targeted by numerous criticisms, Moussa Niakhaté is not offended. On the contrary, the central defender of Olympique Lyonnais invites his detractors to express themselves as they wish.
Even before proving himself on the field, Moussa Niakhaté already had to endure negative comments. Olympique Lyonnais paid 31.9 million euros to recruit him last summer, an amount far too high for some fans. His detractors therefore got into the habit of jumping at the slightest opportunity to criticize him. Nothing to affect the Senegalese international.
Asked by an Internet user about these repeated attacks, the Lyonnais took the trouble to respond on the social network X in order to encourage skeptics to express themselves. “ I will answer you at face value and honestly: Before being a professional footballer, I was like everyone else, a Football fan.recalled Moussa Niakhaté. So I know what it’s like to support a club or a country. I have the most popular profession in the world. The most loved and watched. Football or club fans are those who keep football alive by their coming to the stadium, their declarations of love, their criticism, etc. »
Niakhaté without hard feelings
« 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 him, 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. Know that I am 100 times more so. We like football debates, having different opinions is great. I'm just saying that. Whether we are right or wrong is another thing. There are even football shows where they disagree and that's great », validated Moussa Niakhaté in a rare speech.
