After learning live of the signing of Adrien Rabiot in Marseille, Pierre Sage regretted the timing, because the French international could make his debut with OM against OL.
It was the big Ligue 1 news of the evening: the agreement in principle reached between Olympique de Marseille and Adrien Rabiot, and the signing for two years of the French international (subject to a medical examination).
The bomb fell during the match between Lens and Lyon (0-0) on Sunday evening, and it was after the final whistle that Pierre Sage, the OL coach, learned the news.
“I was the first to be surprised”confided Pierre Sage on DAZN, upon hearing Smaïl Bouabdellah mention the arrival of Rabiot from OM.
Rabiot present for OL-OM?
The journalist summed up the situation to the Lyon coach by noting that Rabiot had arrived in Marseille at just the right time,
“right for the Olimpico”the clash between OL and OM next Sunday. “This is not good news”acknowledged Pierre Sage.
Only 13th in Ligue 1 with four points in four games, OL will host an OM team that has had a very good start to the season, second in Ligue 1 with three wins and a draw. The duel promises a lot, especially in midfield. Against Rabiot, Hojbjerg and Kondogbia, Pierre Sage will be able to count on Nemanja, Matic, Corentin Tolisso, Maxence Caqueret or even Jordan Veretout, who has just arrived from… Marseille.
