OM’s victory on Saturday evening in Lens (1-3) allowed Valentin Rongier to find a place in midfield. He spoke about difficult months.
It was only a second start this season but it weighs quite heavily. Lined up Saturday evening for
Lens-OM (1-312th day of Ligue 1), Valentin Rongier has fully
satisfied his trainer Roberto de Zerbi. The Marseille midfielder, captain last season before a serious kneecap injury contracted a year ago (November 2023), opened the scoring for OM at the start of the second half before being replaced by Nadir at the 77th minute. “ The coach told me, you have a yellow card, I don’t want to take any risks “, he explained to journalists.
The 29-year-old confided a joy found in his daily life: “ I train well, I give my best. These last few months have been complicated, as you well know. I’m very happy to have started. »And how does Valentin Rongier experience this winning return? “ I have always shown humility and I think that during these months of injury and those when I came back, that’s also what motivated me. It’s not politics, but it’s really only work that pays. I kept my mouth shut, I worked and it paid off, I’m happy and I hope to continue. »
Thrilling OM-Monaco
Barring any drama, Roberto de Zerbi will maintain his confidence in Valentin Rongier next Sunday at the Stade Vélodrome. OM, third in the
ranking nine points behind the Parisian leader, will welcome AS Monaco, second, for the undeniable poster of the 13th day of the Championship. And with Adrien Rabiot, finally positioned in Lens in their natural left lane, OM can aim to repeat their performance at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium.
