LOSC faces Olympique de Marseille this Saturday at the Orange Vélodrome, a venue on which Valentin Rongier intends to rely on to win.
Ready to go for a ride again? Undefeated in its last fifteen outings, LOSC is preparing to go all-in this Saturday, intoxicated by the sea air of the Mediterranean Sea. In the fight for the podium, his men oppose Olympique de Marseille at the heart of the Stade Vélodrome as part of the fifteenth day of Ligue 1. This match, which promises to be special for Bafodé Diakité, exciting for Bruno Genesio , is just as much for Valentin Rongier.
The midfielder, symbol of Olympian balance, wants to rely on Marseille's madness to win. The audience could prove to be an X factor: “We expect a complicated match against a very well organized team. Lille has quality, individual and collective. It won't be easy but we're at home and it has to help us.
We must rely on the Monaco match in order to respond and put in more intensity to emerge victorious,”
he proclaimed to the media this Friday, the day before the clash scheduled for 5 p.m. this Saturday.

Intensity is what is needed, imposing your rhythm, to claim the highest places in the ranking. Fourth, LOSC aims to return to the Champions League next season and to do this, it will be necessary to stand up confidently in front of Olympique de Marseille, whose objectives are similar. We are even talking about a title on the Canebière, at least our Marseille colleagues: “We relax. We remember when we were talking about that at the start of the season. When we were doing well, everyone said: 'OM can go for the title', then we had a more complicated period behind. We are not getting excited, we are in a good dynamic, we must continue like this”declared Valentin Rongier at a press conference this Friday, trying to calm things down.
Despite this lucidity, ambition remains high, at least as much as in the North: “The number one goal is to qualify for the Champions League. We don't stop ourselves from dreaming, we will do everything to go as high as possible.
But qualifying for the Champions League and then we'll see.”assured the former Nantes player who will have to firmly battle with fierce competition symbolized this Saturday (5 p.m.) by LOSC. Unable to surpass Paris Saint-Germain and AS Monaco in this first par
