L’Olympique de Marseille will host Montpellier on Sunday, February 25th in the closing match of the 23rd round of Ligue 1 (7:45 pm UTC). Ahead of this encounter, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang held a press conference on Saturday. It was an opportunity for the Gabonese player to speak highly of Geoffrey Kondogbia, who had an outstanding performance during the victory against Shakhtar in the Europa League last Thursday (3-1). Aubameyang detailed the roles they both play as senior members of the team.
‘The first thing to say about Kondogbia is that he has experience. We stick together and I think that’s the best way to bond with the group. We try to share little anecdotes, and it’s important to stay strong during challenging times. We try to bring a positive atmosphere. We need to be strong, and Kondo is excellent in that sense. Last Thursday, he was the man of the match. He contributes a lot to the team.’
