When he returned to the Stade Vélodrome in 2015, Mathieu Valbuena was greeted by a mannequin in his image, hanging in the stands. OM supporters have never forgiven him for his choice to join Lyon, he the former Marseillais. Called a “traitor” at the time, Mathieu Valbuena has no regrets and does not blame Adrien Rabiot for his signing with the Marseille club, despite his past as a PSG player.
“I was surprised, but in a good way. I think it’s a top player who has signed for Olympique de Marseille,” confided the player from Kallithéa (Greece) in an interview broadcast this Sunday on Canal +.
“Adrien Rabiot has a lot of personality”
“If I have to sum up this choice? I find that Adrien Rabiot has a lot of personality and that’s what I like. I like people who have personality, who have courage, who have cojones.”
The arrival of Adrien Rabiot in Marseille has caused a lot of ink to flow in recent days. His recruitment has not failed to fuel debates in France. And opinions are widely divided: some, like Jérôme Rothen or Alexy Bosetti, regret that rivalries are being lost; others believe that the former Juventus player does not have to justify himself.
