From the top of the stands of the Bollaert-Delelis stadium, the observation suffered from no ambiguity. During Lens-OM (12th day of Ligue 1) won 3-1 last Saturday by the Marseille players, Adrien Rabiot took it up a notch. The OM midfielder owes this in particular to his clearly improving physical condition. In Lens, the former Juventus player was available at all times, a real advantage for the collective shaped by Roberto de Zerbi.
The Italian coach had asked for patience regarding the French international when the latter officially signed up with OM on September 17. The ex-Parisian needed a little time to get back into good shape. The double he scored this month with the French team in Italy (1-3 – Nations League) did Adrien Rabiot good. We are delighted in the Olympian locker room, starting with the captain of the current third in Ligue 1.
A very versatile player
“He is fast, powerful, and has great experience. He is also a player with an excellent sense of goal. For me, he is capable of working both defensively and offensively, estimated Pierre-Emile Højbjerg about his midfield partner, Saturday at a press conference, cited by The Phocaean. He is also a very versatile player, capable of adapting to different positions thanks to his qualities. And even though he hasn’t been here for a long time, we have already seen that he can bring a lot to the team, through his play and his attitude. »
The Danish international was speaking on the eve of OM-Monaco, the poster child for the 13th day of Ligue 1. Faced with the second in the standings, the Marseillais have the opportunity to confirm the good copy made eight days earlier in Lens. But given the mediocre results recorded by OM at home since the start of the season (only one victory), the Monegasques also have a good chance to play.
