The French international midfielder from Juventus Turin, Adrien Rabiot, spoke about his absence from the list of 30 nominees for the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
It’s a cold shower for Adrien Rabiot. Indeed, the Juventus Turin midfielder is one of the major absentees from the list of 30 nominees for the 2023 Ballon d’Or, unveiled by France Football last Wednesday. Enough to arouse a strong feeling of frustration among the 2022 world vice-champion who is coming off his best season.
“Indifferent no, because I tell myself that I still had a very good season on an individual level and because seeing certain players who appear there, I thought that it is not necessarily logical. But I’ve never been someone who looks for individual rewards, I’m focused on the collective, and those who decide all that perhaps don’t have a player’s entire season in mind. Sometimes one or two good matches in the Champions League can be enough.”Rabiot estimated.
As a reminder, the previous season, the native of Saint-Maurice played no less than 49 matches for 12 goals scored and 4 offerings distilled under the bianconero jersey. As for his record with the Blues, the “Duke”, scorer and decisive passer against Australia for his first match in the World Cup, was able to fulfill his mission very well: to compensate for the absences of N’Golo Kanté and Paul Pogba in the Tricolores midfield.
