De Zerbi remains optimistic for Rongier's future
Despite this context, De Zerbi remains positive about Rongier's future within the team. “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. He also has this ability to play in different positions and he will undoubtedly be very useful very soon”declared the coach.
Furthermore, in mid-October, the journalist Daniel Riolo had expressed his opinion on the importance of Rongier for OM. According to him, the team would gain in efficiency when Rongier found a place in the starting lineup. “I know that coaches need a lot of time to realize how important he is in a team, because he doesn't look like he is. But he's better than a lot of players on this team. Even right back, I would put him”he said.
Conclusion
In summary, although Valentin Rongier is going through a difficult period, the positive signals from his trainer and the journalists' analyzes suggest an imminent return to form. Follow OM news so as not to miss any developments in the situation of Rongier and the team.
