A very special goal for the one who came close to a departure by being sent to the loft. After the match, he showed all his relief and satisfaction.
“What is certain is that I train well and give my best”declared Valentin Rongier who looked back on his turbulent summer which preceded his return to the OM professional group under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi. “These last few months have been complicated, you know, but I’m very happy to have started this evening”he reacted before putting pressure on the Italian technician.
“I now hope to continue, but once again, it is he who makes the choices”commented Valentin Rongier. He also highlighted his professionalism and humility during this difficult period. Which allowed him to regain his status within the Marseille squad. “I have always shown humility, and that is what motivated me during these months of injury”slipped the midfielder before adding:
“It’s not politics, but really, only work pays. I kept my mouth shut, I worked, and tonight it's paying off. I'm happy, and I hope it continues in this direction.”. Valentin Rongier's performance against Lensois could well revive the OM midfield hierarchy. The Italian technician will now have to deal with this increased competition and decide whether to keep Rongier in the starting lineup.
