National foot zapping Live N2: news from Jamal Alioui, the best goal of the J10, the Oise derby…
The hero of the Europa League semi-final second leg against RB Leipzig on 3 May 2018. Entering the pitch a few minutes earlier, Rolando received a corner kick and scored an improbable goal with a magnificent flick of the ball to send Olympique de Marseille final of a major European competition. Having moved to the Marseille city club from 2015 to 2019, the central defender is currently free from any contract since his departure from SC Braga. The 37-year-old is back, for RMC and his podcast Joga!, in these four years.
« When I make a decision I never regret. It was my decision (to leave Marseille). It was the right time. I experienced difficult, very hard moments in OM, but I also experienced things that I hadn’t experienced elsewhere, with moments that marked me for life. It’s a different city, which I’ve come to love. I felt it was time to go because they changed everything a bit, it was a different time for the team. Too bad André Villas-Boas arrived after I left (laughs). But my time at OM was over. he confided first.
The former Portuguese international, who supported Cristiano Ronaldo for many years in the selection, has also campaigned for his arrival at the Stade Vélodrome. After a huge movement started by Marseille fans on social networks this summer, the five-time Ballon d’Or player finally found nowhere to recover and remained at Manchester United before this World Cup. A few hours before Portugal entered the competition, the top scorer in history gave an interview in which he set fire to everything that directly or indirectly touched the Red Devils, except the fans. Now free from any contract, Rolando advised Ronaldo to come and discover the Olympic fervor.
“I would love to, it would be one more reason to go to the Vélodrome. We won’t lie to each other, Ronaldo remains Ronaldo. If he came to a team like OM in France, he would score at least ten goals. I’m sure he would help the club well. Would I recommend it? Obviously I would advise all players to go to the OM. But I would also tell him to prepare well, because it’s not an easy place. You have to learn Marseille life, to live it to the fullest. OM in Marseille is not only during matches, it is 24 hours a day. But it is a magical place, and different. concluded the defender. I’m not sure, however, if such a transfer takes place, while CR7 has received just over €30m a year since his return to England.
