During his adventure in England, the Italian faced Olympique Marseille during the 2023-2024 season in the Europa League. The English won the return match against the Olympians at home and conceded the draw at the Stade Vélodrome.
During this meeting, Roberto de Zerbi was seduced by a Marseillais who is currently in his squad. “ When I played here in the Europa League, I loved this player. Rongier has different characteristics compared to other midfielders. Rongier is the one who maintains order in the midfield. He was coming off eight months of injuries, it took time for him to get back to his level,”
he declared this Saturday at a press conference.
Rongier starting against AS Monaco this Sunday?
Roberto De Zerbi is a fan of Valentin Rongier. The Olympian, who was injured for a long time last season, returned to the field last August. However, the Frenchman struggles to be consistent and to string together meetings.
This Sunday, against AS Monaco, he should again start in Roberto De Zerbi’s starting 11 as against Racing Club de Lens on the previous day.
