"?Dimitri Payet has revealed a slightly unusual secret to his free kick prowess this season - revealing that he kept himself at the top of his game by not practising his set pieces after a certain point in the campaign.
Speaking to "?L'Equipe ahead of France's Euro 2016 campaign, the West Ham maestro discussed what he could bring to the table for Didier Deschamps' side at their home tournament, which kicks off in less than two weeks' time.

When asked what he would add to the French side, the 29-year-old said: "What I did with my club, West Ham. In March against the Netherlands and Russia, I did. I like to feed my attackers be decisive in the final pass. I can also score. I have several qualities. The set pieces too, we will say that I'm not too bad."
The newspaper went on to ask if he worked hard on his direct free kicks, he revealed: "No, I have worked in the early season until I scored my first for West Ham. When I scored the first, I found my way to shoot. So, I do not make adjustments."
Talking about his frame of mind entering the tournament, he said: "I am a player from the 23. The coach will make the team. Some play, some less. I am available to the group and the coach. When he calls me, I will answer the call.

"Even though I was rarely a substitute in club selection, it's different. We will not win the Euros with just 11 players. It's impossible. If everyone is on form, we will be hard to beat."
