The signing of Adrien Rabiot at Olympique de Marseille and his comments made at a press conference are going down very badly with Jérôme Rothen.
Adrien Rabiot is not the first former Parisian player to sign with the hated rival. Before him, Fabrice Fiorèse, Lorik Cana or Frédéric Déhu played this role of traitor in the eyes of Parisian supporters. His case is no less emblematic because of the stature of the player, a French international courted by many European big names, or his supposed attachment to the capital club.
The signing of the former Turin player for Olympique de Marseille has also provoked the anger of Jérôme Rothen and his statements at the press conference have not helped matters. “I don’t like being taken for a fool and in the end, he lied to all the Parisians and those who love this club. You can’t do what he did and said after spending seven years at the club and making great declarations of love to PSG,” he thundered into the microphone of RMC.
“I don’t have to explain anything to anyone.”
In 2016, Adrien Rabiot assured that it was impossible for him to consider playing for OM. “It’s not possible. Going to play in Marseille is inconceivable.”he had confided to La Provence while the Ciel et Blanc had tried a few months earlier to bring him in on loan. Comments on which the French international had to come back during his presentation in front of the media.
“I don’t have to explain anything to anyone, he said. I am making my career. It is true that we can finally realize that nothing is impossible in life. Things that we can say when we are younger, it can be different with experience and other circumstances. Today, I made this choice very calmly. I am really happy to be here. Maybe it will disappoint some, it has disappointed some, but it is a choice that is mine.
