Author of fairly lackluster performances since his arrival at OM, Adrien Rabiot flew through the debates for his return to Didier Deschamps' starting lineup with the Blues during the international break. On Italy's pitch, he was aligned on the left in the French coach's 4-3-3 and scored twice.
Enough to give Roberto De Zerbi ideas on the use of the former Juventus player? Facing the media, the native of Saint-Maurice confessed that it was easier for him to project himself forward by being on the right foot. “ More difficult on the right than on the left? No. It makes me play in a different way, yes. When I am on the left, if I project myself, I will be more easily on my left foot and I will take my lane with more power to cross. Something that I will perhaps do less on the right. But the coach asks for a possession game. So we are less likely to project ourselves as a relay environment. But I don't mind this positioning »he explained.
A change of system does not seem to be on the agenda in the mind of the Marseille coach. One thing is certain, whatever his position, Adrien Rabiot will have to gain strength in the weeks to come.
