A few weeks after leaving Marseille for Rennes, Valentin Rongier already finds his former team for the first day of Ligue 1, a meeting that promises to be uncompromising.
Just landed at Stade Rennais on July 21 from Olympique de Marseille, Valentin Rongier will already find his old club. For the start of the Ligue 1 season this Friday, the Red and Black will receive the Olympians on their lawn on the occasion of the first day.
Upstream of this meeting,
the Mâconnais had not failed to set the toneas a warning to its former partners. This Thursday, at a press conference, it was Leonardo Balerdi's turn, the Marseille central defender, to express himself.
No gift in the field
The Argentinian, who has always evolved alongside Rongier, recognized a certain change of scenery. “It touched me when he left and when I saw him with the Rennes jersey. Me, OM, I know him only with him. For six years, I was with him so it's weird. But I think that for him, it was his moment to leave ”said Balerdi in the face of journalists.
OM captain, however, warns that there will be no preferential treatment: “It was his choice and I'm happy for him. But tomorrow there will be no gift, he knows. »»
