On the 7th day of the English Premier League, Manchester United suffered a surprise defeat at Old Trafford, losing 2-1 to West Bromwich Albion. Morgan Amalfitano, who delivered a noteworthy performance and scored a goal, took the opportunity to respond to his critics.
Reflecting on his move to West Bromwich Albion, Amalfitano stated, “In reflection, we weigh the pros and cons. My advisor explained to me that this was not a step back. And he’s right because here, it’s no worse than in the big French clubs. I’m talking about the facilities, the championship, the intensity of the matches. And the philosophy of the game here at West Bromwich is interesting. We don’t swing. We are trying to build. Even if I’m not yet 100%, I respond in my own way to people who didn’t trust me at OM (Olympique de Marseille).”
Amalfitano, formerly with Lorient, is on loan to West Bromwich Albion with an option to buy. His positive performance against Manchester United serves as a response to those who doubted his capabilities during his time at Olympique de Marseille.
