‘I miss football’: first words to N’Diaye, Marseille injured player Eric Bailly

The images of his evacuation on a stretcher, as well as the severity of the guilt he endured, startled the spirits. Two weeks after the match against Olympique Marseille, Hyère 83 midfielder Moussa N’Diaye broke his silence during an interview with RMC Sport broadcast this Saturday. The Mauritanian, still recovering, was able to open up about his relationship with Eric Bailly, whom he says he has already forgiven.

“He came to visit me in the hospital. I felt that he was very touched, and he greatly apologized for his gesture, explained the message to the player, using speech was still painful for him. This allowed us to discuss, and since then he has also heard from me regularly. […] I do not blame him for anything, because I am sure that he had no intention of hurting me. “For his bad gesture, hitting the sole in the chest, the Marseille defender inherited a seven-game suspension.

“I realized that I can’t continue”

“I remember he didn’t want to attack the ball. So I take this opportunity to speed up, and I think it surprised him, N’Diaye rewinds. So he was late and made this mistake. Then I feel severe pain in my chest. I was thrown straight to the ground. I immediately realized that I could not continue the match. He was admitted to the Martigues Hospital, then transferred to the intensive care unit of the Northern Hospital in Marseille, the people around him were affected by the liver, kidneys and ribs.

If the duration of his outage is not yet known, it is unlikely that the Mauritanian will be able to return to the pitch in the coming weeks. Woe for him, who dreamed of showing himself in this match. “The hardest thing for me is to be away from the field, not knowing when I can restart the game,” he admitted. I hope to be back soon because I miss football. »
