However, after the 2011/12 season, Metz were relegated to the National 1, French third-tier. Great recognize great – Benzema should win Ballon d’Or, says ManeMane recalls in vivid detail his move from France to Austria. “It was a difficult time for the club because they were getting relegated, but I wanted to stay because Metz was my first professional club. I didn’t really see myself elsewhere. I wanted to go back up with the team,” he told RMC Sport.Sadio is built differently! Bayern star spent nearly two hours signing autographs and posing for selfies”I remember when the Austrian club made an offer. Bernard Serin (Metz president) said, “no, if you want him, you have to pay €4m,” because he didn’t think that a National player was worth that price. They (RB Salzburg) came back and offered €4m. I didn’t want to leave, but I had to. I was told that I had to. I cried. I remember it as if it was yesterday. I cried like a kid because I had to go to Austria. I didn’t know the language, I didn’t know anyone. Metz was my second home. In the end, it was difficult, but I accepted going to Salzburg, ” he continued.##NAJAVA_MECA_6696622##
