The story of how a young French international, Dimitri Payet, was denied his dream to play for the national team has become something of a national tragedy. Despite being one of the most talented players on the pitch, Payet failed to make the squad for France's World Cup squad in 2018 and never played for them again.
Payet had been a key player for Marseille since he joined the club as a teenager and had made a name for himself with his speed and skill on the pitch. However, after struggling with injuries and being overlooked by manager Rudi Garcia,Serie A Stadium he was forced to retire from professional football.
It is not clear exactly why Payet failed to make the cut for the World Cup squad, but it is believed that he may have suffered from a lack of confidence or mental health issues. The French national team is known for its rigorous training regimen and strict selection process, so it is possible that Payet did not receive enough attention or recognition due to these factors.
Despite this setback, Payet continues to work hard and represents Marseille in the Premier League and has even signed for Serie A side Juventus. He will continue to fight for his place in the French national team and hopes to prove his worth once again when they face off against Germany in the Euro 2020 tournament later this year.
