Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
During the month of September, OM obtained the signature of Adrien Rabiot who had not received sufficiently satisfactory offers although he had been free since the termination of his contract with Juventus. And Roberto De Zerbi still can't believe he was able to recruit such a player.
At the end of the contract Juventus, Adrien Rabiot did not find an agreement to extend, and therefore found himself free on the market. But while everyone expected him to be flooded with offers, the French international was ultimately still without a club when the transfer window closed. Therefore, theABOUT jumped at the chance to treat himself to the former player of the PSG. Et Roberto DeZerbi still can't believe it.
De Zerbi already conquered by Rabiot
« Rabiot was really a discovery for me. Not the player, obviously, but the human, the boy. I think he's a champion who retains a certain humility, almost adolescent, in quotes. He is someone who loves football, who is truly passionate, who lives for this sport. This is a quality that I greatly appreciate. We are lucky to have a player of his caliber, just as we are lucky to have Højbjerg as well », launches the coach of theABOUT on the occasion of his appearance at a press conference on the sidelines of the trip to Lensbefore continuing.
“He has already managed to become an important player for us”
« There you have it, on our side, we always do our best – I always try – to put the players in the best possible conditions. When you see that I change the game system, the positioning or the animation, it is always to help the players evolve in their best role, in the best possible position. Afterwards, it must be recognized that this group has still been playing together for too little time. But honestly, even if Rabiot is not yet 100%, we are very satisfied with his level. He has already managed to become an important player for us », added Roberto DeZerbi.
