In the upcoming match between Bordeaux and Marseille on the 37th day of Ligue 1, Jacques Romao stands out as a fearless defensive midfielder. Trained at Louhans Cuiseaux, Romao has racked up an impressive 504 fouls in Ligue 1 since the 2008/2009 season, a hundred more than any other player in the French championship, as per Opta statistics.
With Marcelo Bielsa set to take the helm at Marseille, Romao’s combative style could fit well with the Argentine coach’s approach, known for blending attractive football with physical duels. The Togolese international might find himself well-suited to Bielsa’s tactical systems.
