Trained at Girondins de Bordeaux and former French international, Matthew Valbuenawas a guest on the show Le Podcast des Légendes. He came back on his departure from Marseille to Lyon then the sex tape affair in those two years.
« It was hard because in addition, between the two I had my daughter who was born in 2016. Everything came together, I was in the media spotlight. It was complicated in Marseille, it was complicated in Lyon, there was the press which was always behind me. So somewhere, I had a period in my first year, with a few small injuries, where I recurred two, three times in a row in the short term. My agent at the time, Jean-Pierre Bernès, asked me 'Do you want to see someone, a psychologist, just to vent, to feel better about yourself, what you feel about certain things? things'. My response was clear, not against psychologists who do extraordinary work, 'I don't want to see anyone. I just want to be home and I'll get back up, no problem.' But it was hard. What if it was the right decision? Yes because it went really well with Lyon. Statistically I score 9 or 10 goals in the league. My second year in Lyon, statistically it was my best in Ligue 1. Behind me I still made a Europa League semi-final against Amsterdam.
