Holder at Bollaert, author of a big match and the opener, OM midfielder Valentin Rongier seems to have finally finished with his physical problems having weighed him down.
On November 4, 2023, Valentin Rongier suffered a fractured left kneecap during a match against Lille (0-0) at the Vélodrome. Since then, the midfielder has experienced a real ordeal between long rehabilitation and painful relapses. Several times he thought he was out of trouble but pain systematically sent him to the infirmary. But on Saturday in Lens (3-1), he made a resounding comeback. Started by Roberto De Zerbi, he had a big match, even opening the score at the start of the second half, although he is not comfortable in front of the cages. His joy at the goal was great to see. He hit his head several times, as if to say that he was hard-headed.
“I kept my mouth shut, I worked and it paid off”
In the mixed zone, our partner Football Club de Marseillais asked him about this resurrection. Rongier revealed its secrets: “I have always shown humility. During all these months of injury, this is what motivated me. Only work pays, I kept my mouth shut, I worked and it pays. I’m happy and I hope it continues in this direction.”
Given what Roberto De Zerbi said about him, there is no reason for Rongier to return to the bench anytime soon. It is true that his ability to enlighten his team's play is valuable. In addition, his association with Adrien Rabiot and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was very promising.
