In an interview given to Téléfoot, Adrien Rabiot responded to criticism from supporters of PSG, his former club, who could not digest seeing him sign for OM this summer.
He fully assumes responsibility for his career choices. And it doesn't matter if they don't please everyone. In an interview given to Téléfoot, Adrien Rabiot responded without tongue in cheek to the criticism that accompanied his signing this summer at OM. Seeing the former darling of the Parc des Princes join the enemy was not really appreciated by a section of Parisian supporters, as much surprised as annoyed by his arrival on Marseille soil. Reproaches that are absolutely not justified in the eyes of the French international.
“This lack of respect saddens me”
“I'm not going to lie to you, when I was at PSG they didn't give me anything. They didn't give me any gifts, they weren't behind me more than that. So now, after five years at Juventus, saying 'we pampered him', we have to stop… There was none of that when I was in my last season, in the closet, the supporters didn't come to defend me to get me out. from there,” he said on TF1. Mired in a conflict for refusing to extend his contract, Rabiot was sidelined by PSG at the end of 2018 until his free departure for Juventus the following summer.
“After a while, you have to stop the hypocrisy. I made this decision. What I don't understand is the lack of respect. You may not be happy, you may be disappointed, but the lack of respect on the networks, I don't accept it. The rest is football. We can not be happy and that of course I accept. This lack of respect saddens me to have disappointed some people. who had the image of Adrien Rabiot at PSG, I can understand that,” continued Rabiot.
Welcomed in mid-September by hundreds of Marseille supporters upon his arrival at Marignane, does the 29-year-old midfielder see himself staying at OM for a long time, having signed up for two years? “I'm very instinctive,” he said. “It will depend on how things go, how I feel this season, if I see that there is a way to go higher… I am a competitor, I want players around me who are capable of taking this team very far.”
