During the last Euro, Adrien Rabiot made the mistake of provoking Lamine Yamal with a scathing statement before the match. He invited him to “to do much more than he had shown so far to reach the Euro final ” The Spanish genius had taken him at his word and the Duke must have bitterly regretted his words.
Lamine Yamal “no grudge” towards Rabiot
Three months after the events, Yamal has not forgotten the Frenchman’s comments. In an interview for France Football, he wanted to respond to him. “I realized later than the one who was defending me. At the time, I didn’t pay attention to that. In the end, even if it was perhaps a misunderstanding, it helped me to motivate myself, to play a good match. But I have no hard feelings towards him. He is an excellent player and we will be happy to meet again on the field.”
The reunion is certainly not for right away, since Rabiot is still without a club. Many teams have contacted him, but he has rejected them all, because they did not meet his salary demands.
Yamal also spoke in more detail about the magnificent goal he scored against France in the semi-final of the European Championship. : “During the first 15 minutes, I realized that there was this space between the defense and the French midfield. I found myself alone in this area when we had the ball. On the action, I saw that I had space in front of me to shoot, so I tried my luck.”
