Often mocked for his impressive number of relegations in his career at only 28 years old (four if we only count the seasons in which he actually participated), Didier Ndong finds himself once again in a fight for maintenance with his current team, Dijon.

Determined to restore his image and save the DFCO from a second descent in the space of three seasons, he shows certain qualities in this position that he has rarely occupied in his career.
