Before the play-in, 36-year-old former West Ham hero Dimitri Payet is firing Brazilian giants out of the relegation zone.
One of the best players to have ever played for West Ham is the mercurial French sensation Dimitri Payet, despite the fact that their time together was brief and ultimately bittersweet.
His abrupt exit in January 2017 damaged his reputation among many of the West Ham supporters who had loved him.
Six and a half years ago, the French wizard effectively downed tools to compel a return to Marseille for family reasons.
The majority of Hammers supporters today look back on Payet’s incredible 18-month stay in east London with great love, proving that the adage “time is a great healer” is true in this situation.
During his time at West Ham, Dimitri Payet was one of the best players on the planet, both for the club and the country. At 36, he is still going strong, leading the Brazilian giants out of the relegation zone before their run-in.
In his most recent interview, the master of midfield stated he never wanted to leave West Ham but gave an explanation for why he had to.
Following the shocking news that Payet would be leaving Marseille as a free agent, there were cries for one last dance with the player as West Ham looked to be having trouble making acquisitions during the summer transfer window.
However, he ultimately made an unexpected transfer to Brazilian team Vasco da Gama, who are actually in danger of being relegated from the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.
Brazil’s top division sees four clubs relegated. And with eleven games remaining in an extremely close battle for survival, Vasco was one of them. Up till Payet stepped in.
At 36, the former Hammer is still valuable to the giants facing relegation.
Before the final stretch, the 36-year-old former West Ham hero Payet led the Brazilian powerhouses out of the relegation zone.
Vasco defeated Fortaleza to escape the relegation zone on goal differential thanks to a goal from Payet, who was wearing the number 10.
Brazil, a country that loves football, bursts into loud celebrations when Payet receives the ball on the edge of the box, beats his man, and smashes a low left-footed drive into the bottom corner.
“Three points, all together,” Payet wrote on social media following the match. It’s Vasco here.
The objective is shown below.
