If he admitted to having lived an “emotional” evening, the Frenchman said he was frustrated by the inability of his team to win against his former club, stressing the points that Milan must improve to claim the title.
Rabiot expressed his frustration after the Rossoneri 0-0 draw against his former club, Juventus, at Allianz Stadium, according to an interview with Dazn via football Italia. The French international, who spent five years in Turin before leaving in 2024, admitted to being “angry” that his team did not make his opportunities concretize during his first return match in his former stadium.
Moving return to Turin for Rabiot
This match was rich in emotions for the 30 -year -old midfielder, who found many of his former teammates and members of the staff for the first time since his departure. Despite this return in shape, Rabiot focused on the crucial victory of Milan outside. “” It was an evening full of emotion. I know many Juventus players, the stadium, the staff, and even the trainer Tudor … I was really happy to come back here, “said Rabiot. “I wanted to win, but it's football, we will continue on our momentum. »»
“Angry” after missed occasions
Milan has created several frank opportunities, but failed to find the flaw, which particularly irritated Rabiot. The match was tense, Milan having scored 13 shots against 12 for Juventus, but only four were framed. “I am angry because we should have won”, he said.
We had opportunities, but something was missing. We have to do more and progress collectively. This is only the start of the season, but a victory here would have been important.
Returning to the tactical gaps of his team, Rabiot identified the lack of aggressiveness and precision in the last third as key points to improve. He estimated that if one point outside against Juventus is a good result, Milan left two points on the table. “” We have not sufficiently exploited the depth of the team, and in front of the goal, we must be better: final passes, shots, second balls, aggressiveness, “he explained. “The point is correct, but we could have done better to win. »»
