Valentin Rongier crosses roller coaster at Olympique de Marseille. After starting the season as a replacement, then found its place in the starting eleven after mid-November, the French midfielder again found himself relegated to the bench after the arrival of Ismaël Bennacer this winter.
A reversal of the situation that the ex-left Latéral Marseille Eric Di Meco judges a little precipitated. According to him, coach Roberto de Zerbi did not really grant his confidence in the Mâconnais, who already seems disadvantaged in the choices of the Italian coach in the face of competition.
“There is always a problem of healthy competition”
“In football as in life, the novelty is always more nice. What bothers me with players like Rongier is that they are never there at the start of the season, and as soon as you have a first glitch, you play it and you realize that it works, that he is a player who brings you stability. And as soon as there is a new one who arrives, before he even proves, he goes to you in front of ”regretted Di Meco on
RMC.
“In addition, Bennacer passes Rongier after a match culminated against Lyon (3-2), there was no reason. I'm not saying that Rongier must play, I just say that there is always a healthy competition problem. (…) Rongier, whether you play it or put it on the bench, the guy never says anything so it's much easier to get this kind of player out ”added the 1993 European champion.
