Aminata Diallo after signing for Levante: “I found the desire to fight again”

by time news

She was indicted on September 16, 2022 for “aggravated violence” and “criminal association” as part of the investigation into the attack on Kheira Hamraoui on November 4, 2021. Incarcerated for five days, Aminata Diallo was able to sign Monday in the Spanish club of Levante because it is now authorized by justice to leave the territory. The French international had been without a club since leaving PSG. A departure that she still has across the guard, believing that Paris had dangled an extension of her contract before retracting.

“Until July 18, I was made to believe at PSG that it was on track to extend me, that’s what I was told, she explains in the columns of the Team. On the 20th, I finally learned that I will not extend. I was disgusted: not because they weren’t extending me, but because it was done at the last minute. PSG can say what they want in the press, but we do not announce to a player at the end of the contract on June 30 that we will not extend it if we do not plan to do so at all. »

If the investigation continues in parallel, Diallo will be able to refocus on his career as a footballer. “Mentally, it was a difficult year,” she continues. I suffered a lot of injustice, I was fed up. It happened to me what happened to me in September, it remotivated me to move forward. I remembered who I was and why I had come to this. I had a lot of support from my former teammates, former coaches, my relatives, my family… It touched me. After a short period of reflection, I found the desire to fight and find my career, which I want to pursue for a little while longer. »

However, she does not forget the judicial sword of Damocles hovering over her head: “I know it’s still there, I don’t pretend it doesn’t exist. Nevertheless, I resumed the course of my life little by little. I am quite confident. I have good lawyers. Court cases are progressing slowly. If I dwell on this, I will be blocked in my life, that’s not the point. The indictment was a blessing in disguise because it gave us access to the file. I was able to have the elements to defend myself. I had a lot of support from the world of football. It gave me strength. »

Her judicial control has been reduced for a few weeks and she can leave the territory. It is for this reason that she returned to Spain, to relaunch herself: “I had toured France […] I had no problem staying in France. I have also received requests from several D1 and D2 clubs. I have a lot of girlfriends and former teammates who play abroad, I also wanted to leave to learn. »
