Under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri in Milan since his arrival this summer, whom he already knew when he was still playing at Juventus, Adrien Rabiot spoke of his relationship with the coach of the Italian club in an interview for Gazzetta dello Sport : “I have always had an excellent relationship with Allegri. We are similar and I really appreciate that on a human level. We called and wrote to each other often, even last season. There had already been contacts with Milan last year, but without success. This summer, they showed up at the beginning of the summer and returned to the forefront after the Marseille problem. It was the right time for everyone. »
The former OM and PSG midfielder also explained how the character of the Italian coach and his own were made to work together: “he was always very determined. It's a winner. He is always hungry for victory and he is very passionate. I like it, because I'm like that too. I don't think he's looking for revenge, because he's a coach who has won a lot and is respected in the world of football. I think he wants to show that he has the ability to lead a team to victory. And if Milan recruited him, it's because they know he can accomplish great things. » Strong and complimentary words from the native of Saint-Maurice.
