But these are economic agreements aimed at giving visibility to the championship, these are things that end up passing». Questioned by Le Figaro On the choice of UEFA to accept the relocation in Australia of the meeting of Serie A between Côme and AC Milan, Adrien Rabiot clearly said he did not particularly appreciate this decision. What to provoke the anger of the managing director of Serie A, Luigi de Siervo.
“”He forgets, like all footballers who earn millions of euros, that they are paid to exercise an activity, namely playing football. He should respect the money he earns and be more conciliatory towards his employer, namely Milan, who accepted and insisted that this match can be played abroad. Players' health is a fundamental element, we are fighting for it to be logical. This is a complex question, but not impossible. We try to do it in a spirit of harmony, especially if we consider this as an exceptional event. The organizational challenge is complex, there are many flight hours, but we travel in business class to the other side of the world, which the teams do regularly. High -level footballers, who have salaries up to their efforts, should better understand that others that it is a sacrifice that can be made“, He said in remarks relayed by Il Corriere dello Sport.
