But I’m not going to give them more importance and talk about it anymore.” And died to apologize to OM supporters: “I made a mistake because I did not react. I should have acted immediately and defended ourselves. I should not have let this pass and for this I apologize to all the people of Marseille. For the rest and to clarify the situation, I was simply explaining that I made the rounds in Marseille, and that I need to change In my life, that my career or my private life and that I was proud and happy to be able to. For the opportunity for my son to discover a new country, a new culture and the fact that he can learn several languages. That’s what I simply said (…) Everyone knows my connection, so no need To go back for it. I will always be proud, I will never forget where I come from, I will never forget OM, I will always be proud of them and I will always wear the club colors loud and clear. Go OM and live Marseille”.
