A short turn and then it comes back. Originally from the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, French defender Samuel Gigot ultimately played very little in France. After signing his first professional contract with AC Arles-Avignon and spending three seasons with the Arles club, he flew to Belgium in the summer of 2015. After several seasons in the Jupiler Pro League and four years of experience at Spatrak Moscow, the 28-year-old has returned to France to play for his favorite club, Olympique de Marseille. But their beginnings turned out to be more complex than expected. With two yellow cards and one red in three games, the defender is slowly getting used to the French championship. Even if he admits that his exclusion against Nantes was justified, ProvenceThe arbitration was particularly fierce in Ligue 1.
“Honestly, it was a stupid foul”He referred to the red card he received against Nantes on 20 August. “I played badly in the action. It’s a shame, I felt good especially in the first half. But that’s part of football. You have to erase the little mistakes, that’s the top level. a lot of energy, you have to focus and stay clear for 90 minutes. I think there was a red card”he continued. “When I got back to the dressing room I was disappointed that I left my colleagues at 10. We had the game, we were in a good position and I caused a penalty that allowed Nantes to equalize… But I had intuition. Deep inside me I knew we were going to win the game. Help them with that. I didn’t, but it was great to win.”The central defender continued.
However, he also assured that the refereeing difference between France and Russia, where he played until last year, surprised him. “Yes, it’s not the same. I didn’t miss it either (laughs). I bought red in 4 years in Russia. I feel it whistling a little more and faster. Then mischief happens, there are some players. who shouts… It’s up to me to be more careful”, he concluded. The next meeting for Samuel Gigot this Wednesday, 31st August, is with a reception at Clermont (21:00). LC
