Milan, Rabiot fires up Rossoneri: "Hope to edge Napoli 1-0" | OneFootball

Adrien Rabiot took little time to win over the Milan environment. The French midfielder, who arrived at the Rossoneri after his experience at Juventus (and a stint at Marseille with De Zerbi), immediately fit into the dynamics of Massimiliano Allegri’s team, with whom he has maintained a special bond.

Milan, Rabiot fires up the Rossoneri: “Napoli? I hope to score the 1-0 and win by a narrow margin”

Interviewed by SportMediaset, Rabiot spoke about the direct connection he has with the coach: “We have the same relationship we had at Juventus. We’ve kept in touch outside of football too, he’s very close to his players. He called me all summer, we spoke several times. When what happened at Marseille occurred, he called me again, but even before that he wanted to bring me to Milan.”

On Milan-Napoli

Looking ahead to the big match at San Siro, the Frenchman toned things down but didn’t hide his motivation: “It’s definitely an important match, but it’s not the most important one of the season. We prepare for every game with the same enthusiasm, whether we’re playing Lecce or Napoli. We’ll play to win, but we mustn’t think that after this match the league will already be decided.”

The nickname “Cavallo Pazzo”

The midfielder also commented on his famous nickname: “It’s a nickname that’s been with me for a while. In France, they also called me Duke. It’s part of who I am.”

Finally, with a smile, Rabiot set his personal goal for the big match: “Let’s hope I score the 1-0 and win by a narrow margin,” he said, laughing.
