Valentin Rongier put in an XXL performance against Lens last week. Injured for months, he showed that he had regained his best level. He won his starting place!
The little owl is back and it's heavy. Having gone from captain to perpetually injured, Valentin Rongier was going through a rather difficult period in the Marseille city. But the former Nantes player has character and he showed against Lens that he is still the great player he was. He notably scored but was also a real cornerstone of the Marseille midfielder. Thanks to this performance, he won the heart of De Zerbi!
He's back
“Actually you want to know if Rongier is going to play on Sunday? He's going to play. I don't know if we found the right configuration but he has different characteristics from our other midfielders and he is an important player. He's a surveyor, he puts order on the ground. But he was coming off eight months of injury, so it took a little time. But I loved this player when I faced OM with Brighton,” explains the Italian technician at a press conference. He will now have to continue against Monaco. The task promises to be arduous but Valentin Rongier has proven that he is afraid of nothing.
