Rabiot slams referees: "They’re not doing well, sorry. On Politano…" | OneFootball

If Allegri chooses the path of fair play, Adrien Rabiot does not mince words. The French midfielder, intercepted by Mediaset microphones at the end of the semifinal lost against Napoli, analyzes the defeat with clarity but does not hold back a sharp criticism of the refereeing and, more generally, the current level of officiating.

Milan, Rabiot’s bitterness: “We were too careless, Napoli created little”

The “Duke” starts with self-criticism, pointing the finger at the team’s defensive performance: “We need to regain compactness and solidity, we’re conceding a bit too much,” admits Rabiot. According to the Frenchman, Milan made things easier for their opponents: “They didn’t create many chances, but we were careless defensively. It’s not about individuals, we’ve scored even without Leao or when Gimenez was there. Now we need to stay calm, I know how much a trophy matters, but we have to go back to Milan and keep working.”

The tone becomes more polemical when the subject of refereeing comes up, particularly regarding an incident with Politano. “No red card on that episode,” Rabiot concedes, but then broadens the discussion, sounding an alarm: “The referee could have done better, and I’m not saying this just for Milan. I watch other matches too and I’m sorry to say it: they’re not doing well.”
