[Billet] Rabby Nzingoula, a place to (re)take

Left out of the starting lineup against LOSC two days ago, in favor of Jordan Ferri and Joris Chotard, Rabby Nzingoula was then suspended for the match in Lens last Sunday. And if those who are absent are always wrong, the new French U20 international is perhaps the exception that proves the rule.

Loaned by RC Strasbourg, without purchase option, the defensive midfielder has always seduced the pailladin microcosm with his flawless investment for the MHSC. Benefiting first from the banning of Jordan Ferri under the leadership of Michel Der Zakarian, then from repeated injuries to Joris Chotard and Khalil Fayad, Rabby Nzingoula was able to continue at the start of the season. A convincing start to the season for the 19-year-old, embodying one of the rare satisfactions of the squad, even though he was not necessarily promised such significant playing time.

Remarkable therefore for his performances, it is ultimately through his absences that he shone during the last two days where Jordan Ferri disappointed, again, and where Joris Chotard seems to be regaining rhythm little by little. Back from suspension, will the Franco-Congolese obtain the favors of Jean-Louis Gasset and his staff when it comes time to host OGC Nice? In view of the speech tirelessly reserved by the pailladin coach on the subject of executives, doubt remains. Deserving, Rabby Nzingoula will most certainly set foot on La Mosson this Sunday. It remains to be seen whether this will be in the shoes of a starter, or coming off the bench.
