Rabiot: “I don’t have to explain anything to anyone, I’m doing my career!”

In recent weeks at Olympique de Marseille, everyone has been talking about Greenwood and De Zerbi. One is for his running and dribbling down the wing and the other for his ultra-offensive style that you dream of stealing PSG’s throne in France. A role that in recent days has been somewhat overshadowed by the controversial signing of Adrien Rabiot for OM. The 29-year-old midfielder, who arrived as a free agent, has a past at PSG and even he himself is not expecting a good reception for that reason. However, the fans rallied to him and the Parisians were the most surprised by this movement.

This Wednesday it is time for the official presentation, where he already announced that he will not be available this weekend to play against Olympique Lyonnais because he needs some time to get in shape. During the presentation he also received questions about the reasons for choosing OM and about his past at PSG and the explanations he had to give for this ‘betrayal’ of his training club due to the existing rivalry between of two entities.

”I don’t have to explain anything to anyone. I beat PSG. I played seven years, more than 200 games. We also know how it ended, unfortunately. Now here I am, these are my professional choices, I accept them.”

He also reacted to the warm welcome from OM fans when he arrived in the city: “Having trained at PSG, I didn’t expect animosity but I also didn’t expect 500 fans to welcome me. Football dominates everything and the fans are happy to see it. This reception was wonderful. »

In addition, he has praise for De Zerbi, key to his signing: The coach has a certain reputation. For me it’s a big challenge to come here, in a young team. No need to introduce. I had the chance to play against him when I coached Sassuolo. For the players who arrived this summer, he is an important piece.”
