And thank goodness for the team’s opponents Juventus, which is, or at least has been so far, far from top condition. Because despite this Adrien Rabiot has already made its weight felt in the Juventus’ good start to the season, agreeing with Massimiliano Allegri who has always supported its absolute importance, discouraging its sale in 2022 and then advocating its renewal in June.
A feeling, that between the Livorno coach and the French midfielder, which last year translated into the best season of Rabiot’s career, who scored almost double the goals scored in all three of the previous Juventus seasons: 11 against 6 (1 in 2019-20, 5 in 2020-21 and 0 in 2022-23). And almost double even compared to his previous seasonal record, the 6 goals with the PSG shirt in 2015-16. A limited precision in passing was one of the indicators, even in the last match against Lecce, of a state of form that was still far from optimal for the Frenchman, also denounced by a less devastating physical impact compared to his standards, both in tackles than in progressions with or without the ball.
Rabiot, the impact on the start of the season
Yet, despite this delay in condition, Rabiot still had a heavy impact on the Juventus performance. Meanwhile with a goal, in Udine, and two assists (more than any other Juventus player), against Lazio for Chiesa and against Lecce for Milik. Not bad in six games: the projection over 38 days, approximated by default, would be 6 gol e 12 assist. Plays that represent the tip of the iceberg: with 11 counterpressing actions (soccer data indicating an attempt to win the ball back in the attacking midfield within 6 seconds of its loss by the team) Rabiot is the fourth player in the entire Serie A (After Lobotka e Aebischer with 13 e Calhanoglu con 12) and the first of Juventus. A sort of standard bearer of the more aggressive attitude of the Bianconeri. Bianconeri among whom he is also first for chances created (9, sum of assists and key passes) and through passes (2 like Owned by e Miretti), second for successful dribbles (6 compared to 9 Church) and tackles won (8 compared to 9 McKennie), third for intercepted balls and aerial duels won, in both cases behind Danilo e Bremer. And thank goodness, in fact, that he’s not in shape.
