Criticized for his choice to join OM, Adrien Rabiot responds to PSG and its supporters.
A fan of Olympique de Marseille since he was a child, Adrien Rabiot has achieved one of his wildest dreams by signing for Olympique de Marseille. But the arrival of the former Turin player in Marseille has gone down very badly in the French capital where it is believed that the former Titi has not respected PSG.
“OM, I chose with my heart”, Rabiot justifies his choice
“When I was younger, I liked watching OM, I would say around 10-12 years old at the time of Niang, Maoulida, Taiwo…”said Rabiot during his presentation in Marseille. Criticized by supporters or even former PSG players like Jérôme Rothen or Vikash Dhorasoo, Adrien Rabiot does not regret his choice to join OM. In an interview given to the website of the Marseille team, this Saturday, the 29-year-old player once again declared his love for Marseille.

“I am very, very happy. Very proud to be here. It’s a club that I chose with my heart. I hope it goes well. It’s a very good sporting choice. I was pleasantly surprised (by the welcome). It’s very nice. We can already see the fervour. I imagine that it’s maybe 2 or 3% of what can happen in the stadium, in the city. I’m very happy. I can’t wait to start and see the atmosphere that can be in the stadium.”launched the former player of the Old Lady.

Rabiot aims for Ligue 1 with OM
If Paris Saint-Germain has been walking on Ligue 1 for several years, Adrien Rabiot aims, with OM, to put an end to this domination of his former club. The player who passed through the Manchester City training center, given that Marseille is only engaged for national competitions this season, wants to take advantage of it to give Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France to OM to be in Europe the coming campaign.
“I’m a competitor, I’m a winner so I obviously set myself big goals. It’s a very good team. The opportunity to do great things, to try to reach the top of the league table, to do everything we can in any case for that. To have a very good run in the Cup, to win it too would be great. I know that the club’s goal is to get back into the Champions League.”he added.
While he is eager to start in Marseille, Rabiot will have to wait a little longer, since Roberto De Zerbi does not want to play him anytime soon. He is therefore logically absent for the Olympico, this Sunday. According to rumors, Rabiot should play the Classic against PSG on October 27.
