Brice Dja Djédjé: Relentless on the Pitch, Reserved off It
Known for his attacking flair and fierce defending, Brice Dja Djédjé, the 23-year-old right-back for Olympique de Marseille, continues to earn plaudits for his consistent performances. Having featured in 14 Ligue 1 matches this season, his dynamism on both ends of the pitch has not gone unnoticed—even by former teammates.
Modou Sougou, currently on loan at Evian Thonon Gaillard, shared high praise for Dja Djédjé in Le Parisien:
“This excess of desire is also a way to concentrate, to get into the game. Offensively, he has above-average technical qualities and, defensively, he’s a pain. Outside, he’s someone discreet, he leads a quiet, home-loving life. In the Evian dressing room, he was an exemplary partner. In Haute-Savoie, he is even missed.”
Dja Djédjé’s passion was on full display during OM’s 2-0 win over Nantes, where he even had a heated exchange with teammate Nicolas Nkoulou—a sign of his uncompromising spirit and competitiveness on the field.
A mix of technical skill, defensive aggression, and humble demeanor off the pitch, Brice Dja Djédjé remains a key figure in Marcelo Bielsa’s Marseille project.
