In order to better adapt to Brazilian football, Reunion's No. 10 will learn Portuguese to play Joga Bonito!
“He is adapting to Brazilian football, and I hope he continues like this“, said Vasco da Gama coach Ramon Diaz. He is happy with the Frenchman's debut as a starting player.
After more than a month at the East Coast club, Dimitri Payet has played four games. We see that Reunion residents are becoming more comfortable at the club, and in a more communicative way, despite the language barrier. The 36-year-old international star is working to integrate into Vasco and will soon start taking Portuguese lessons.
Even if he can count on teammates like Leo Jardim and Robson Bamboo, who played in France and understand Molière's language.
In a press conference, the coach spoke highly of his number 10's commitment: “ He is adapting to Brazilian football, which is fast and dynamic. This was evident in the pass he made to Rossi, which practically left him inside the goal. He will continue to grow, he is doing well and that is why he is as important a player as anyone. He works a lot on his fitness, tactically, and understanding Brazilian football. I hope it continues that way“He finished.
