These whistles were the consequence of several things. But among them, there was necessarily the placing on the bench of Dimitri Payet. To everyone’s surprise, the OM captain was left out of the starting XI for this first league outing of the season.

The new OM coach surprised everyone by leaving Payet on the bench for the start of the Ligue 1 season. “Dimitri is an important player, it’s a choice. A choice for this match, there is nothing. There are five changes in a match that can change the course of a match”, had he justified on Premium Video.
“All changes need time to show results“, explained the Asturian from the lawn of the Velodrome. “Dimitri on the bench? It’s the coach’s choice, we need everyone. It is the function of the coach to make these kinds of decisions.“
