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.
Present at a press conference on the sidelines of the trip to Lens on Saturday, Roberto De Zerbi returned to the surprise signing of Adrien Rabiot in the heart of September. Although he did not discover the player, the OM coach did, however, get to know the man and was obviously very impressed.
Still free from any contract while the transfer window had closed, Adrien Rabiot finally joined theABOUT without transfer compensation. A signing which has obviously been widely commented on, in particular because of his past as a player trained in PSG. However, Roberto DeZerbi is very happy with his midfielder's debut. And above all, he is delighted to have discovered a very beautiful person.
De Zerbi still impressed 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 at a press conference, before 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.
