Rabiot – OM: His mother responsible for a problem, the announcement is cash!

Repositioned as a left attacking midfielder close to the striker, Adrien Rabiot is not currently playing in his best position at OM according to Daniel Riolo. The RMC Sport columnist believes that the former PSG player should have evolved in recent years as a sentinel, and points to the influence of his mother on this subject.

Remember, when he was still evolving in PSG, Adrien Rabiot had gone out of his way not to play as number 6 in front of the defense. A dispute which had also started his departure from the Parc des Princes in 2019, he who now wears the OM jersey. Sunday evening, against theAS Monaco, Rabiot played in a fairly unique position as a left attacking midfielder in support of Neal Maupay in attack, and Daniel Riolo was not at all enthusiastic about this role for the French international.

“Never in his life can he play there”

In theAfter Footon RMC Sport, Riolo criticized the tactical role ofAdrien Rabiot at theABOUT : « I find that Hojberg, Rabiot, Rongier are one too many in this team. Because Rabiot, we know what I think of him, but he remains a good football player. On the other hand, never in his life can he play where he played this evening. Putting him in this position tonight is really not doing him any favors. This is not where Rabiot will be useful. If you play with these three, they have an identical profile “, estimated Riolo.

“His mother didn’t want…”

And he goes on to point out the negative influence of his mother at the time of PSGwhen it was a question of positioning him as a sentinel: “ Why do I often criticize Rabiot? Because this guy had everything to be in front of the defense. His mother didn't want it, so neither did he. And I think that ruined all his possibilities. Higher up, he doesn't accelerate, he doesn't know how to speed up the game, so from the moment you have Hojberg and Rongier who can play up front, you can't have three guys like that. Because OM didn't create enough, tonight they didn't create enough play! It's a very important victory for OM, but there are still many questions unanswered… “, coward Daniel Riolo.
