This is the story of the week. After the defeat against Rennes (0-1), Jonathan Rowe and Adrien Rabiot had a strong altercation in the locker room.
A violent argument that sealed the fate of the two men: Olympique de Marseille no longer counts on its two men and are invited to leave the club before the end of the summer transfer window. This Friday, at a press conference, Roberto de Zerbi spoke about this case which caused a lot of ink to flow.
The Italian manager expressed himself on the sidelines of the two players and did not fail to mention Paris Saint-Germain as an example. “I think words fly away. SO
These are the acts that count. What we do in our work. The strong decision was made, it was compulsory and important. We will try tomorrow to complete the team so as not to regret the absence of Rabiot. It will be difficult because he is a player of a certain caliber. But you have before you what the PSG: PSG has become what it is when it paid attention to this kind of thing, its dynamics. Rabiot remains someone good. But it was his entourage that has managed badly, it is normal for a club to discard a player who did that, “
He added to journalists.
And to continue: “It was normal to come back in a sincere, honest way, to repent. Regretting gestures and things would have returned to order. I know Pablo (Longoria) and Mehdi (Benatia), they have faults but
They are people of heart. I'm sure the situation would have managed. It was poorly managed. See the words that have been used by the entourage of Rabiot … in this way you Rums things definitely. But we didn't want such a concrete break. »»
“Adrien is sorry”
Arrived free from any contract in the summer of 2024 at OM, Adrien Rabiot should no longer postpone the Olympian jersey except big reversal of the situation. The international will leave the Marseille club in the coming days before the end of the summer transfer window. A situation that the former Turinese would have liked to avoid and which he would have apologized to his coach and the staff.
“Adrien (Rabiot) is sorry. He thinks that the decision was too serious, too important. But I told him what I told you and that I was going to talk about it today at the conference. I told him that if he had been my son and if I had been the coach of my son, I would have done the same thing as a coach. You can suffer, make a counter-Coeur decision, that was the case. But Sometimes the obligation passes in front. I gave him a paternal advice from what I
would do if I was in his place. But he will see what he wants to do. »»
