A month ago, Adrien Rabiot surprised everyone by signing for Olympique de Marseille. The choice of the Ile-de-France native makes Mattéo Guendouzi dream. The former Marseille player has high ambitions for his teammate in the selection.
Almost too quiet in recent years, the OM-PSG rivalry is finally reborn at the moment. The Marseille club had a good start to the season under the leadership of Roberto de Zerbi, seeming to be able to compete with their Parisian enemy in the short term. The next classic scheduled for October 27 will be eagerly awaited by supporters of both clubs. An event added spice to this meeting: the signing of former Parisian Adrien Rabiot to OM. A real titi, born in the Paris region and trained at PSG, the international environment surprised observers and annoyed Parisian fans.
Rabiot will bring OM back to the top
This transfer never ceases to amuse Mattéo Guendouzi. The Lazio Rome midfielder has a trajectory similar to that of Rabiot since he was trained at PSG before relaunching at OM a few years later. Asked again about the Rabiot case at a press conference, Guendouzi was very enthusiastic for the player but also for the Olympian club. He hopes that this recruitment will help OM to become competitive again in Ligue 1, clearly implying that the championship title could be accessible to the Marseillais.
« It’s a very good choice for him. I think it was carefully considered on his part. Adri is a very smart guy. If he made this decision, it was because there were all the ingredients for it. […] Yes, we know very well that he played for PSG. There is still this rivalry with Marseille. We know very well how it happens. We were all a little surprised that he signed for OM. In any case, I am sure that he will do a very good job there, that he will flourish and continue to play at a very high level. To bring Marseille back to the place it deserves “, he admitted to journalists. However, it will be necessary to surround the former Juventus player much better since it will be difficult for him to win OM alone.
