Adrien Rabiot put in a superb performance on Sunday evening against Italy at San Siro with the French team. Enough to leave immense regrets at AC Milan, who let the French international slip to OM.
Back in the French team for the first time since the Euro, Adrien Rabiot shone this Sunday in Italy. Author of a double, the Olympique de Marseille midfielder scored big points in the mind of Didier Deschamps, while competition is becoming more and more pressing in the French team with the emergence of Manu Koné and the good period experienced by Mattéo Guendouzi. The two goals of the Marseillais at San Siro as well as his activity and his accuracy in restarts hurt Italy, which was full of praise in the press the day after the success of the Blues on the former Juventus player Turin.
Man of the match for all the transalpine media, Adrien Rabiot leaves AC Milan with big regrets, who have long been in negotiations with the player and his entourage for a signing as a free player during the summer. But the Lombard club ultimately failed to reach an agreement with the 29-year-old left-hander and he may regret it. “San Siro is the ideal place to remember that if Milan had recruited him, it would not have been a bad idea” writes the Italian press in particular today.
Rabiot match angers Italy
The leaders of OM did not wait for this Italy-France to be convinced that they had achieved a very big coup by signing Adrien Rabiot for two years as a free player. Olympian supporters will now expect the former PSG midfielder to display the same level in Marseille as he does in the French team. Because for the moment, it must be said, Adrien Rabiot has not yet shown the best version of himself in Marseille colors. Lacking rhythm upon his arrival, Rabiot is gradually finding his legs and without a doubt, if he reproduces with OM the kind of performance that was delivered at San Siro, Roberto De Zerbi will be the happiest.
