Once again lined up in the starting lineup against AS Monaco, Valentin Rongier was important for OM, despite a gross error which cost the opener.
After his remarkable performance in Lens last weekend, Valentin Rongier started the match against AS Monaco on Sunday evening (2-1). Guilty on the Monaco goal, the native of Mâcon still proved very valuable in the midfield alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
« Rongier has a lot of qualities in the game. He has unique characteristics in this team and brings us defensive balance. I could have thought of replacing him and bringing Rabiot down further to force the match by adding an attacker. But I didn't do it because it brings balance, but also play. And that's what I want: to play. I want us to build with the ball on the ground and succeed in believing in what we are doing », Explained Roberto De Zerbi after the meeting.
Like previous years, Valentin Rongier managed to make himself indispensable after initially being relegated to the bench.
