On the pitch tonight with Vasco de Gama, Dimitri Payet did not finish the match against Botafogo.
Dimitri Payet’s auriverde experience takes an unexpected turn. Celebrated and praised upon arrival in August 2023credited with a correct adaptation season, the Reunion playmaker struggles to express himself in his second Brazilian season.
Victim of Vasco da Gama’s disaster at the start of the month against Flamengo (1-6 defeat), the former OM captain was sidelined for five days, before his return to action last night against Botafogo. Result, an insipid performance and a recall to the bench from the hour mark, at 0-0. A 1-1 draw finally concluded the debates.
A bloodbath when he leaves the field
Dimitri Payet experienced this premature exit as a humiliation. “ Absent since the 1-6 defeat against Flamengo, Payet made his return on Saturday during the derby against Botafogo in Sao Januario. Substituted in the 59th minute, the Frenchman got angry and kicked the bench “, reports Globo, with video of the sequence in support.
Weighed down by a knee injury at the start of the season, the former French international has only played five matches out of 15 possible since April with Vasco. For a return of three assists. The announced arrival of Coutinho at the Carioca club could further weaken his executive status.
