description: "Mathieu Valbuena is a French professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Olympiacos B. He occasionally plays as a winger and is known for his pace, technical ability, and tenacious style of play. He is described by his former coach at Libourne Saint-Seurin, Didier Tholot, as \"an explosive player who is capable of quickly taking two opponents out of the game to create space, above all due to his dribbling skills.\" Due to his small stature, Valbuena is nicknamed le petit vélo, which translates to \"the little bike\"."
