On the thirteenth day of Ligue 1, Lille faces Guingamp with the aim of strengthening its second-place position in the championship. Lille has been in good form, securing a significant victory over Monaco, who suffered their first defeat of the season. With four consecutive wins, Lille is determined to continue their successful streak in Ligue 1.
Ronny Rodelin, the Reunion striker, is expected to play a crucial role for Lille. Under the management of René Girard, Rodelin has transitioned from a winger to a more central position. Despite acknowledging the need to improve his physical condition, Rodelin is ready to contribute to the team’s success.
With Marvin Martin sidelined due to injury, Rodelin has assumed the role of Lille’s new playmaker. René Girard speaks highly of Rodelin’s technical abilities and aerial prowess, providing an extra dimension to the team. Salomon Kalou mentions the differences in playing style between Rodelin and Martin, emphasizing the need for the team to adjust their approach.
Rodelin, who arrived in Lille in June 2011, took some time to establish himself but has recently seized the opportunity. He acknowledges the progress he has made since January, stating, “My status is still the same, but a step has been taken.”
