Since the start of the season, Leonardo Balerdi has held the OM armband. The central defender has inherited this responsibility, but its weight seems too heavy for him, because he collects poor performances. To remedy this, Daniel Riolo seems to have the ideal solution, namely giving the captaincy to Valentin Rongier.
Throughout the seasons, Leonardo Balerdi saw its importance grow at OM. The central who arrived almost in total indifference in 2020 has today become the captain of the Marseille club, the armband having been entrusted to him by Roberto DeZerbi when he arrived at Marseille. A responsibility which, however, seems a little heavy to bear for the Argentinian.
Riolo wants to give the OM armband to Rongier
Lately, Leonardo Balerdi made several errors which cost the company dearlyABOUT. Thus, some are campaigning to remove the armband from the Argentinian. But who to choose as captain instead of the central defender? According to Daniel Riolothis responsibility would go well to Valentin Rongier. “In the middle, there are good players who have the ball, who have technique. This midfielder, Rabiot-Hojbjerg-Rongier, if there is anything to be learned from this match in Lens, it is that this midfielder must no longer move. In any case, it is certain, Rongier's absence has been too long. De Zerbi did like the others, not knowing if Rongier really was, but he is realizing it. Rongier will settle down and will no longer move. I'll even give him the captain's armband back. He's a soldier, he always responds. »
Rongier scored against Lens
Wounded for many months, Valentin Rongier has made his gradual return to competition since the start of the season. The midfielder also scored a goal against the RC Lens Saturday evening, while playing 78 minutes.
