International midfielder Adrien Rabiot will start with OM this Sunday (8:45 p.m.) in Montpellier for the 8th day of Ligue 1, his coach Roberto De Zerbi announced this Friday at a press conference.
“He worked very well during this break. He will start on Sunday, I am very happy with him. We wanted to put him in good physical condition, and we are very happy with what he did. He is a very humble, available boy, who came to Marseille with a lot of enthusiasm,” said De Zerbi.
“I have no doubt that he will make the difference in this team, because he is a very high level player. We have to put him in the best conditions, but he will be an added value for OM, like Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg or Mason Greenwood,” added the Italian technician.
Asked about Adrien Rabiot’s contribution at a press conference, Jonathan Rowe, the English striker for OM, confided: “I think he’s a good player, everyone knows that. He has integrated very well since his arrival. His career speaks for itself. I can’t wait to play with him and get along well. »
Free since his departure from Juventus, Rabiot, 29, signed for OM a month ago, after the close of the summer transfer window. He came into play against Strasbourg (1-0 defeat) and against Angers (1-1).
