Adrien Rabiot should not escape it. As was the case at the beginning of last September, during the victory of France and Iceland (2-1), the former Marseillais risks once again being whistled by a part of the Parc des Princes, the den of PSG, this Friday evening on the occasion of the reception of Azerbaijan, on behalf of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Enough to annoy Didier Deschamps, who had already protested at the treatment reserved by the public at the Parc des Princes for the “Duke” when he came into play against the Icelanders. “ This is something that should not happen because these are players who represent France, but we are at the Parc des Princes with obviously supporters of a Paris club », declared the French coach at a press conference this Thursday.
“It only takes one, two or three and it can stand out. Adrien is an adult and vaccinated and he is used to », added “DD”, who made a point of reminding us that the players called up for the France team represent their country.
Deschamps: “It’s not specific to Paris or Marseille”
“ It's the French team, but regardless of the players who are there, rivalry between clubs exists and there is more between some than others. The important thing is to support any player », asked Deschamps.
“ If I have to take this criterion into account to play one or the other… But it has already happened, it is not specific to Paris or Marseille. We went to the provinces and local rivalry can lead some people to have attitudes that do not go our way “, he concluded. If he will therefore not hesitate to play Rabiot at the Parc, it remains to be seen whether he will start the neo-Milanese or not.
