Morgan Amalfitano has thanked Marseille coach Marcelo Bielsa for preparing him for his move to West Ham United.
While he fell out with the board at OM, Amalfitano didn't have any problems with Bielsa.
"Preseason with Bielsa has allowed me to get there (West Ham). I had a good preseason, anyway. West Ham work to a different intensity.
"I started gradually, and now I'm playing all the matches."
Amalfitano struck in victory over Manchester City on Saturday.
