Lamine Diaby-Fadiga has admitted that he lacked former Nice team-mate Kasper Dolberg’s #62,000 view from”jealousy”.
Dolberg, that joined Nice from Ajax in August, reported the theft to police and had his watch stolen after a coaching session on September 16 from the room.
The Ligue 1 club on Tuesday later confessed to the theft and sacked diaby-Fadiga.
The 18-year-old, who apologised to Dolberg posted an extended apology.
“After several days of an unprecedented media storm for me, I have opted to talk via this announcement,” he tweeted.
“I want to first of all apologise to the fans and people who love Le Gym [club nickname]. A whole lot of them supported me and showed me kindness since I left my debut, as a kid. Their responses embody the degree of disappointment they are feeling towards me and I owe some explanations to them.
“I wore the club of my youth’s top last season in Ligue 1. I was sadly injured for several weeks and my return to competitive action was postponed following a red card that I picked up while playing with the U19s.”
“That affected me emotionally and my difficult situation contrasted starkly the success and aura of Kasper, my team-mate. Without having any reason to do so I shot it out. Instead of attempting to combat to the pitch to provide him with competition for places, I reacted towards him.
“My actions weren’t taken out of an urge to add something out of itout of spite, frustration and feeling discredited. I am only 18, but my era excuses nothing. I therefore owned up to what I had done my captain, to Kasper,” Mr Fournier, the director general of this team, Patrick Vieira, my mentor along with Dante. One , I apologised to every one among these.
“I took on the responsibility of reimbursing my team-mate fully, which I have done. I need him a lot of success in OGC Nice and within his career. 1 day we will encounter each other on a pitch and also this affair will be a memory.
“NowI am leaving the club where I’d always wanted to succeed and revel in myself, which for me would be the greatest possible punishment. I thank. I am hoping to be able to prove that I am worth more than what’s occurred and that they were correct. Redemption for me personally will come to the football pitch and I want to concentrate on my enthusiasm, football.”
Regardless of the incident, Diaby-Fadiga has been linked with a move to Ligue 2 staff Paris FC, who recently introduced their group and free agent Jeremy Menez.
