Pairing up with N’Golo Kanté primewe have already experienced worse working conditions.
Holder during the victory of the Blues against Austria (1-0) as a start to the Euro on Monday evening, Adrien Rabiot delivered a very solid performance in midfield alongside Kanté, elected man Match. The Juventus player was thus able to remove doubts about his physical condition, he who had missed several matches in recent weeks – notably the two preparation matches – due to physical problems. Replaced in 70e minute by Eduardo Camavinga, the former Parisian was at ease for his return to competition: enough to reassure everyone for the rest of the tournament.
After the meeting, Rabiot said: “It was a fairly competitive match, we know this Austrian team, so we were prepared. It’s a very physical team, we had to get up to speed and respond with intensity. I felt very comfortable. I didn’t have 90 minutes in my legs, but what I did, I did well. I thought I was good, I didn’t know how far I could go, but I decided not to save myself. I felt very good, I didn’t have any discomfort, although that was mainly the question. N’Golo, the same, had a very good match in the middle, we were very complementary. This is the N’Golo we know, who has been like this since the start of preparation. He was very important in the midfield, especially recovery, we are happy to have him with us. We were very solid, that’s what also characterizes us and we know that up front, we have the quality to score, even if we didn’t do it very well tonight. »
Solid and lucid, therefore.
