During a press conference this Thursday, Didier Deschamps was invited to react to Adrien Rabiot’s new role as captain at Juventus Turin.
For the first time since his arrival at Juventus Turin in 2019 from PSG, Adrien Rabiot wore the captain’s armband during the Veille Dame’s victory against AC Milan (0-1), on October 22. . An armband that he kept against Hellas Verona then Fiorentina in the absence of Danilo and Alex Sandro.
Invited to a press conference this Thursday, during which he revealed his list for this November’s rally, Didier Deschamps commented on the new club of his 28-year-old midfielder.
“I’m a little jealous because I’ve never been captain at Juventus”
“Rabiot, I don’t think it’s going to change him. He is at an age of maturity. It’s a little more responsibility, but it’s not going to change his character and his way of being. Has he become more of an expressive leader? But Adrien is more in relation to what is needed on the ground. I have no concerns on a human level. It’s a form of recognition for him, he’s a rather reserved person. Even though he opens up a little to the media, he doesn’t talk much about himself. What he has been doing on the field for several years is at a very good level”confided the French coach.
And DD adds in a humorous tone: “I’m a little jealous because I’ve never been captain at Juventus! But it’s a great mark of confidence granted by his trainer and certainly a source of pride for him. »
