AC Milan is experiencing a checkered first part of the season, capable of beating Inter Milan in the derby as well as being surprised at home by Ferencvaros in the Europa League. The opposite of Adrien Rabiot in brilliant form, who finds regularity in performances and statistics. With 5 goals and 4 assists on the clock, he appears both at the top of the scorers and assists rankings.
Which does not prevent a certain nervousness. Sunday against Genoa, AC Milan won 2-1 but could have taken off at the start of the second period, when Rabiot was stopped irregularly in the middle of the field while he was leaving alone in the opposing camp. The referee of the match, Mr. Massa, warned the offender with a yellow card, triggering the fury of Rabiot for whom the expulsion seemed clearly justified.
Rabiot let loose on social networks
Angry, Rabiot also received a warning, while the bench expressed all its anger, which pushed the referee to exclude three members of Ruben Amorim’s staff! A huge moment of tension, which continued after the meeting. Indeed, the French midfielder came out of his reserve on social networks, reacting to a post… from a former referee who validated the decisions taken by his colleague during the match.
Former referee Calvarese, on his Instagram profile, posted: “We must take into account the direction of play, the distance from the goal, the number of defenders and possession of the ball. » Which provoked the following response from Rabiot: “in life as in football, we can make mistakes; you must at least be able to recognize them. Constantly lying will not help you progress. And it’s Italian football that suffers the consequences… Think about it. Good evening. » A rant appreciated by the Milanese supporters, certainly less by the refereeing management.
