Didier Deschamps was questioned this Thursday about the situation of one of his key players.
Adrien Rabiot’s history with the French team has not been a long, quiet river. No one has forgotten the midfielder’s refusal to join the reserve players list for the 2018 World Cup, 6 years ago. Much water has flowed under the bridge since then, and Rabiot was once again in the good books at Clairefontaine.
Author of excellent performances during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the former titi of
Paris Saint-Germain has even managed to establish himself in recent years as one of the sure values of the France group. But it is his situation in the club, this time, which poses a problem.
Rabiot must make a choice quickly
Adrien Rabiot was not called up by Didier Deschamps for the first training session of the year. And for good reason: the midfielder “has no club”as the coach soberly recalled when announcing his list. Rabiot, who refused to extend his contract at Juventus, also snubbed other teams such as AC Milan. Didier Deschamps, who hopes that this situation will be resolved quickly, did not hide his embarrassment.
“Regarding Adrien, it’s an embarrassing situation, acknowledged the coach of the French team at a press conference on Thursday. He has 100% choice, I spoke with him about it, he has been approached by several teams, but has not yet decided. Without a team, without training and without competition, I hope he will choose quickly to allow him to come back with us.a conclu Deschamps.
