After the match against AJ Auxerre, the international break came at just the right time to forget the mediocre performance of the Olympians. A player also stood out with his team!
Roberto De Zerbi confided, he would have liked this international break not to come so soon in order to continue working. Unfortunately, the players were called up by their nations and had to honor their selection. Adrien Rabiot stood out with the Blues against Italy, scoring a double with a header. For La Provence, this performance could allow him to give the best of himself with OM during the restart.
Rabiot makes a lasting impression
The Italian media, still barely reeling from the exploit of Jannik Sinner were quick to devote several pages to Adrien Rabiot. On the cover of Corriere dello Sportthe tone is set with the title: “Rabiot wakes us up”a direct reference to the French international's impact on the game. As for Tuttosportthe newspaper was more trenchant, headlined: “Rabiot downgrades us”alluding to the domination of the French midfielder against the Nazionale.
The Gazzetta dello Sportfor its part, awarded the best score of the match (7.5) to Adrien Rabiot, highlighting his exceptional performance and his ability to destabilize Italy. The daily commented that it was “elusive for the apathetic Frattesi” and added that“Roberto De Zerbi, the coach of the OM, took notes”. Insinuating that the Olympian coach could learn lessons for the future.
With this double, Rabiot confirmed that he was no longer simply a complementary player. This match against Italy showed another side of the French midfielder, much more decisive and determined. If some consider him too inconsistent at club level, he has proven that he can be a man of great stature on the international scene.
The Italian press therefore had difficulty digesting this crushing defeat and this brutal awakening in the face of an imperial Adrien Rabiot. The player's performance is enough to leave regrets in Milan who tried to recruit the midfielder last summer, without success. Now, with OM, Rabiot seems ready to write a new page in his career, and Italy has had a spectacular glimpse of it.
