Oumar Niasse lived the best moment of his sports career when Ronald Koeman took the Everton bench in 2016. In January of that year, the Senegalese striker joined the English entity for 18 million euros from Lokomotiv Moscow and his future was more than promising. But a few months later, after the arrival of the current Barcelona coach to the Liverpool discipline, his sports career would take a negative turn that he never knew how to stop.
In a statement collected on the BBC after Koeman's full stop at Everton, the footballer said that the Dutchman put the cross on him from the beginning: “Koeman wanted to destroy me without regard. I was the perfect target and he tried without stopping.”
His words were very forceful: “He tried many things, like taking off my locker and the number … They sent me with the reservations, they forbade me to eat with the team and interact with the squad. It was very difficult for me. “Niasse, at that time, assured that he was able to get ahead because he had a” very strong “mentality to resist all that.
Niasse, currently without a team, posted a picture on Instagram today gloating over the tough defeat of Koeman's Barça last Tuesday against PSG in the Champions League (1-4) along with another in which his former Everton teammates appear celebrating the victory against Liverpool this afternoon (0-2). He titled it like this: “What a week!” Without a doubt, one more sample of resentment towards the one who was his coach one day.
