Returning to the Vélodrome stadium in the Le Havre jersey on Sunday, after eight seasons spent with OM, André Ayew was entitled to a nice tribute from the Marseille public, despite his goal scored at the end of the match, while the HAC was already leading (5-0). A goal that he chose not to celebrate, raising his arms to the sky to apologize to those who idolized him for so many years.
The supporters even chanted his name for the first time after this pawn, before giving him a tremendous ovation when he left the field injured a few minutes later. Without wishing to play bad tongues, we are not far from suspecting the Ghanaian of adding a little more by dragging his feet for a long time when returning to the bench, just to make the pleasure last as long as possible. But we don't throw stones at him, we would have done the same in his place.

OM, a family story for the Ayews
“Ten years since I last turned back this lawn. Today I was very moved, very happy to come back to this stadium. The match makes things more complicated but I can't say anything else: I was very happy, very moved to find the supporters and everything that surrounds this club”, he confided to the microphone of DAZN after the combed received by the people of Le Havre. It must be said that between the Ayew family and OM, the love story was long and passionate. From dad Abedi Pélé, OM legend from 1987 to 1993, to the two brothers André and Jordan, Marseille has forged a solid bond with the Ghanaian clan over the years.
“I want to thank all the people of Marseille for this evening, it touched me, from the bottom of my heart. This club has given me a lot, it shows that I was able to leave my mark here. Especially after padre and everything he did, it was not easy to make his name, he continued. Everything I gave… It showed me today that the fans saw it and they give me all this love. It's my club, it's always been my dream club. »
Trained at the club after several years spent in Ghana, André Ayew launched his professional career at OM in 2007. He played 209 matches in total with his favorite club (for 60 goals scored) before leaving eight years later, in 2015, to try the Premier League adventure with Swansea.
