Mathieu Valbuena bids farewell to Marseille

Mathieu Valbuena thanks Marseille for their support during his eight-year spell with the French outfit.

France international Mathieu Valbuena has thanked Marseille for their support during his eight-year spell with the Ligue 1 outfit.

The 29-year-old, who has agreed to join Dynamo Moscow on a three-year deal, spoke at a press conference in France earlier this afternoon.

"There is a lot of emotion. I promised myself not to cry but I spent eight years here, I experienced fantastic things, titles, league cups," said an emotional Valbuena.

"I'm proud of that but the page turns today. I did so much here and everything OM has given me has been positive. All of my coaches have mattered to me but I don't forget Jose Anigo and Pape Diouf who trusted in me when I was coming from a small club.

"My greatest pride is to have succeeded here."

Valbuena starred for France at this summer's World Cup.
