Riolo wants to see Rongier with the armband

The journalist of RMC is a fan of the former Nantes player. The pillar of L’After foot had even confided several times that the Habs were better than “the idol” from the Parc des Princes, Marco Verratti, surely as much out of love for Valentin Rongier as out of hatred of the 32-year-old Italian, now at Al-Arabi SC.

While OM number 21 scored a goal against RC Lens this Sunday, Daniel Riolo welcomed his return, wanting to give him more responsibility: “ 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, the absence of (Valentin) Rongier has been too long. (…) 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« .

Leonardo Balerdi should not be demoted in the hierarchy for the armband, but Valentin Rongier seems well on his way to winning, now, after scoring a goal against Lens, and largely contributing to balancing the environment. Confirmation is expected against AS Monaco this Sunday (8:45 p.m.).
