After 3 years of hardship, the world champion Adil Rami returns to France in Troyes

2021-08-25T08:39:59.109Z


World champion in 2018 with the Blues, Adil Rami had almost bottomed out before relaunching himself in Portugal. He's back in Ligue 1, in Troyes.


"A pleasure and an honor to wear this magnificent jersey."

The speech is classic, but the smile of putting on a blue jersey, a color he knows well, seems sincere.

Adil Rami, in a short video published by ESTAC, formalized his return to Ligue 1. The central defender is committed until next June with Troyes, champion of Ligue 2 who has a draw and two defeats after three days in the elite.

A signature tinged with hope both for the Aube club and for Rami and his 35 years.

Contract terminated in Turkey then in Russia

The post-World Cup 2018 was not easy to digest for most of the Blues.

Some, like Samuel Umtiti at Barça, have never regained their level since.

Adil Rami, admittedly little used and above all a locker room ambience, is close to this category.

Then holder in Marseille, he was injured in mid-season to replay only three small matches in March and May 2019. The native of Bastia tried the adventure in the hot Turkish club Fenerbahce.

He will play a league game and spend 14 on the bench.

Before terminating his contract at the end of winter.

The rebound was to be made at FK Sochi, in Russia, land of tricolor exploits. Rami will break his lease three months later, in June 2020, without having played a single match. And complain about not getting paid. "There are fundamental rights and essential obligations, to which no infringement can be tolerated" had indicated Me Jules Plancque, Rami's lawyer, in a press release.

The real rebound will be in the north of Portugal. Rami signs to Boavista, a club fighting for its survival in D1, at the dawn of the 2020-21 season. Injuries will slow him down at first. Then he will play the last 11 league matches in full, with maintenance at the end. The former defender of Lille, AC Milan and Valencia has indeed revived. In Troyes, he will bring his experience (178 Ligue 1 matches, 36 caps), his newfound strength and his jovial personality, as with the Blues.
