Jordan Veretout explained it at a press conference a few weeks ago: yes, he scored more forward, but he also played higher. Obviously, his argument does not really hold water since he has just scored two goals in two matches with OM, starting in the double pivot with Valentin Rongier. This was still the case against Lorient this Saturday evening (3-1).

But, after two short months where he was trying to adapt and he was not taking a big risk, it must be recognized, he found the one who had him called up to the France team. It must be said that his match in Monaco, before the World Cup (one goal), had already awakened him. But since then, it is clearly no longer the same man and the duo in the middle seems impossible to change.

Both run a lot, and Jordan Veretout has ball use and some footwork that Valentin Rongier lacks. It is enough to see that all his corners or his free kicks, almost, are dangerous. This Saturday evening, he touched the ball 95 times and passed 92.8% of his passes (77). He won half of his duels (4 out of 8) and was replaced (59th).

It is also having the confidence of the partner. Even I take pleasure in getting into the surface, creating a surplus. We know that behind it is strong, that it will cover us. Yes, it is felt on the ground, we are well, we repeat the efforts. They also worked well in Marbella, I think (laughs). What we are doing is consistent, we have to continue like this, not give up. We must not ask ourselves any questions, we must go about it while respecting this balance. He asks us to project ourselves without calculating, always with this intelligence in counter-attack. We saw it tonight, on a few counterattacks, we got into trouble. This needs to be corrected, but overall we managed well “, confessed the main interested party at the microphone of Prime Video. Very good news as OM continue to hunt Lens.
