Despite an idyllic first year, the story ended abruptly between Adrien Rabiot and OM this summer, after an altercation between the French international and the Englishman Jonathan Rowe in the Marseille locker room on the evening of the inaugural defeat of Roberto De Zerbi's men in Rennes. A fight of a “ incredible violence » according to President Pablo Longoria.
“ I am not a violent person », defends Adrien Rabiot today, as part of the Téléfoot show. “
I'm sad because it shouldn't have ended like thishe continues regarding his banishment from OM. Incomprehension reigns because the decision is incomprehensible to everyone. Of all the people I talked to, no one understood it. I didn't understand it myself. So obviously, it’s something that’s quite sad and frustrating. »
Bitter, the 30-year-old midfielder clearly criticizes the Olympian management for not having been honest. “ What bothered me was that people weren't telling the truth about me. I have never been a violent person, people know me, everyone can testify. I simply don't want people to give a bad image of me, a false image. It’s the life of football, it’s life in general. We don't always have everything under control.

», admits the person concerned who during the off-season had not hidden having rejected “ clubs with attractive offers “. “ This arrival in Milan went very wellhe whispers now. I was integrated very well. I'm happy. I've been playing for a month, we have the results. Everything is going well, it's really very positive. »
And to conclude: “ I have always been at peace because I do things with conviction. I think I've always been straight. I have always done things 100% wherever I have been. I have never cheated. In involvement, in respect for others, I have always tried to be at my best. And that cannot be taken away from me. »
