Adrien Rabiot, who had a strong season with Juventus scoring 9 goals in Serie A, recently spoke to The Athletic about the season that just finished and his career choices. Rabiot is currently linked with a potential move to Olympique Marseille, where Roberto De Zerbi is set to become coach.
Rabiot shared his thoughts on past opportunities and his career path:
“Last year, I had the chance to join Manchester United, but I felt a bit hesitant. Considering their situation at the time, I wasn`t convinced they would continue to achieve great things. I don`t regret that decision. I`ve always been quite content with the choices I`ve made; I`ve consistently enjoyed myself. At Paris, I won titles, and at Juve, I gained a lot of experience. Ultimately, I ended up [as stated in the source, potentially referring to a subsequent phase or destination like Marseille] and had an excellent season.”
Discussing fellow players, Rabiot specifically highlighted Mason Greenwood`s talent:
“Greenwood is an amazing talent. Had he not faced all those issues, he would currently be on par with Bellingham, as he`s truly an exceptional player. He possesses the ability to finish with either foot, demonstrates outstanding skill, and is a capable dribbler. When he maintains focus, he`s capable of achieving remarkable things.”
Rabiot also spoke about his positive impression of Roberto De Zerbi:
“I quickly formed a connection with De Zerbi. He`s very communicative, clear about his ideas. He is deeply involved in tactical work, dedicating himself from morning to evening. He has a genuine passion for football. He`s the kind of coach who adapts his approach and seeks out the optimal positioning for his players.”
