After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
At 29, Adrien Rabiot is now an OM player. An arrival not without consequences for others within the Marseille club. This is the case of Valentin Rongier, very little used by Roberto De Zerbi. Victim of terrible competition in midfield, the Olympian may well have to review his plans to play more with OM. What if he changed positions?
Hurt for a while, Valentin Rongier is now operational with OM. But this does not mean that Roberto DeZerbi the fact played enormously. It must be said that in midfield, the Marseille club is well equipped with Peter-Emile Hojbjerg et Adrien Rabiot. The arrival of the latter has also redistributed the cards. Enough to complicate the situation a little more Rongier as explained Jean-Charles De Bono has Provence : « The arrival of Rabiot complicates things for Rongier. The pair he forms with Hojbjerg is one of the two or three best in Ligue 1 ».
A new position for Rongier?
How to find the light Valentin Rongier ? What if this involved a change of position? If we know the Frenchman in midfield, he has already shown that he can bring in a hybrid role of full-back-midfieldABOUT. And if this was the solution for Rongier ? « He has the playing intelligence for this option, he is the type of player who fills the gaps in his partners. He had been good in this role with Sampaoli. If he is 100%, he is also capable of bringing impact, technique and stability in a 4-3-3, as a relay », confided Jean-Charles De Bono for the regional daily.
“He also has this ability to play in different positions”
Roberto DeZerbi is also aware of this versatility of Valentin Rongier. « He also has this ability to play in different positions and he will undoubtedly be very useful very soon “, he confided this Friday at a press conference. The coach of theABOUT also added on Rongier : « He trains well. I spoke with him last week. Of course he knows, even if you train well, when you've spent so much time off the field, it's hard to get back into rhythm. Until now I have chosen other players, both from a technical and physical point of view ».
