Alaixys Romao, who joined Marseille during the winter transfer window, has quickly become a key figure in the team’s midfield. He has formed a successful partnership with Benoît Cheyrou, overshadowing Joey Barton, Cheyrou’s usual partner. Despite Romao’s arrival and the competition for a spot in the midfield, Cheyrou seems content and appreciates the understanding he has with the Togolese international.
Since returning from injury, Cheyrou has been positioned to the left of Romao in the midfield. He expresses happiness about being back on the field after being sidelined for a month and a half. Cheyrou sees the physical aspect of his game improving and emphasizes that the most important thing is the team’s results. He highlights the positive partnership with Romao, noting their complementarity and good understanding both on and off the pitch.
In the upcoming match against Girondins de Bordeaux, Cheyrou, Romao, and the rest of the Marseille team will face the challenge of maintaining their second-place position in the league. However, the team will have to do so without their in-form player, Mathieu Valbuena, who is announced as unavailable for the match. This situation puts additional responsibility on players like Cheyrou and Romao to step up their performance and contribute to the team’s success.
