Player to watch – Dimitri Payet
Veteran French midfielder Dimitri Payet is spending the golden years of his career in Brazil, though the 37-year-old still has plenty to offer despite his advancing years.
Payet still offers a touch of class
Payet has started only eight times in Brazil’s Serie A this season, though he managed to lodge two assists in those fleeting appearances and while his engine isn’t as powerful anymore, his technique is still sharp enough to do damage.
