A former PSG player believes that OM is clearly in contention for the French championship title with the arrival of Adrien Rabiot.
The bombshell was dropped on Sunday evening. Without a club since his departure at the end of his contract from Juventus Turin at the end of last season, Adrien Rabiot has finally decided to sign for two years with Olympique de Marseille. A huge coup by Pablo Longoria and his teams and which propels the Marseille club as a candidate for the title of French champions, according to Jérôme Rothen.
” Is OM playing for the title? Of course. We’re talking about an international player. I don’t want to minimize Adrien Rabiot’s career. In the position he occupies, in central midfield, I expect him to force himself a little because he is often in a nonchalance that I don’t like too much. But if we just talk about the quality of the player, his career speaks for itself.”explained the former Parisian this Monday on the airwaves of RMC.
Rothen: “He is one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1, with PSG”
And Rothen continued: “ You don’t impose yourself and you don’t become a starter by chance like that at Juventus. Even if it wasn’t the best Juventus in recent years, he was an important player. You don’t impose yourself in the French team, with the confidence of Didier Deschamps, like that by chance. Sportingly, of course it’s a superb opportunity for Olympique de Marseille. Today, the team has character. There is competition, even in the heart of the game. When you compare the OM midfield to that of last year, it’s night and day. That’s why OM is playing for the title. To date, he is one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1, with PSG. There aren’t many midfielders better than the one at OM.”
Already second in Ligue 1, two points behind PSG, OM, who are not playing in the European Cup this season, seem well equipped to tease the Parisian ogre. One thing is certain, the next Classique between the two hated enemies of French football, on October 27 at the Vélodrome, will be a first revealer.
