Adrien Rabiot’s speech is having difficulty getting through… Following OM’s victory at Saint-Etienne on Sunday evening (0-2), the former Parisian appeared before the media to notably launch a message to Paul Pogba. While the name of the “Pioche” is circulating in the Marseille city, the “Duke” publicly invited his teammate in the French team to come and join him in Marseille.
“We greatly invite him to come and play at OM “, Rabiot said, and added: “ What we are putting in place is really very important. There is a real dynamic, it’s very professional, from the players to the coach and management. There is ambition. If he wants to come, it is with great pleasure. »
“This position is useless”
Words which greatly annoyed Christophe Dugarry, who put the 29-year-old midfielder in his place. “
This statement bothers me. She’s moved. Afterwards, you have to put things in context. It’s at the end of the match, he’s laughing, we feel that the pressure of the match has subsided. They want to talk about something else about the match. (…) He appeals to his friend with his foot. Why not. But there are guys who are stationed in Marseille, who play. So hearing your colleague say I would welcome Paul Pogba if he plays in your place, I’m sorry but you take it badly », castigated the 98 world champion on the airwaves of RMC.
“ I think it’s not his place, “Duga” continued. It’s not up to him to decide. He does not know the physical state of Paul Pogba. Leave it to the leaders. This position is useless. Adrien, focus on the game, on the team. The balance of a locker room like OM is fragile enough to talk about a player who is not in the team. It’s inappropriate. It doesn’t matter, he didn’t kill anyone. But I find it inappropriate. It can create more problems than good things. » The message got through.
