Valentin Rongier is in a fairly complex situation. Heavily injured last season, the Olympique de Marseille midfielder is giving everything to find a starting place in the Marseille midfield. But under Roberto De Zerbi, this is no easy feat. Especially since there is competition for his position. The OM coach knows it can be complicated for the players not being able to be on the pitch. But the Italian wanted to reassure the former Nantes player, particularly on the face he shows in training.
“He has this strength of character and this ability to adapt to several positions”
Present at a press conference before the trip to Nantes, Roberto De Zerbi wanted to clarify the situation around Valentin Rongier: “Valentin Rongier is training well, I spoke with him last week. He knows it, even if he trains well, when you have been away for so long it is difficult to come back. But he has this strength of character and this ability to adapt to several positions and that could be an asset soon”he explains in comments reported by Provence. Will he have the right to have more playing time, especially in front of his old crowd this weekend?
