In the event of arrival at Olympique de Marseille, Paul Pogba would undoubtedly be a victim in Roberto De Zerbi's eleven. It could be Valentin Rongier, who has nevertheless become essential to the balance of his team.
Adrien Rabiot added a layer. After the victory at Saint-Etienne (0-2) last Sunday, the Olympique de Marseille midfielder launched a new appeal to Paul Pogba. The former Paris Saint-Germain player would like to find “la Pioche” in the Marseille city. And too bad if the arrival of the midfielder released by Juventus Turin causes a victim in the eleven. It could be Valentin Rongier who has not yet discussed the subject with “the Duke”.
« I didn't talk to Adrien about that, I didn't see that he had forced himselfreacted the ex-Nantes player at a press conference. We all know the quality of Pogba. If he joins OM, I think it will be a good thing. » Valentin Rongier can indeed rejoice in this, he who would not necessarily be threatened by the arrival of a new creator. The midfielder, who has returned after a long absence, represents an essential link in the balance of the Marseille eleven.
« I don't know if we can say that it's the engine of the game, but what's certain is that we feel good on the pitchadmitted Valentin Rongier when asked about his trio with Adrien Rabiot and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. We find each other easily and we have a very good balance between the three of us. Adrien, you know his qualities, he's a more attacking midfielder. He is capable of making forward runs, scoring goals and providing assists. Pierre-Emile is a bit between the two. He can do everything on the pitch, which is valuable. »
Why Rongier is essential
« For my part, I am here to regulate all that. My role is to position myself in such a way as to limit the spaces left free on the pitch, so that the team remains well organizedhe explained. This is also what the coach expects: he wants order, both in our offensive and defensive phases. (…) Another important point is to be vigilant about losing the ball. When we attack, I must constantly analyze where the potential dangers lie to anticipate losses and cut off the enemy's actions as quickly as possible, in order to prevent the team from being put in difficulty. »It is clear that Paul Pogba could not play this role.
