Adrien Rabiot has emerged a crucial element in Juve’s game. The midfielder, who was seen struggling under Maurizio Sarri’s management in his first season, has turned the tides around becoming a valuable asset to the team and also in one of Pirlo’s most trusted. He is now one of the key players on the French national.
Didier Deschamps, the French manager has applauded Juve for the player’s evolution. He claimed Rabiot is now a different person, he is far more mature. The Frenchman added that Juve is a team where Rabiot has to do whatever it takes to survive.
He said as quoted by Tuttosport: “He has grown a lot. He had some complicated moments after PSG and it was difficult for him to start at Juve. Thanks to him, I can’t say that he is changing but he is no longer the same as before. There is a relationship of trust between us and we continue to confront each other. There is no problem with regard to position, if he plays too low or high, too far to the right or to the left. He has this ability to adapt . ”
“I know which team he plays for – continues Deschamps -. When you are there (at Juve ed) do what they tell you to do. If you refuse to do it, you leave. Maybe at the beginning he did not do enough, but now he is doing it. It is no coincidence that he plays in a club like Juve. He is also very attached to the French national team. The past cannot be erased but we must look forward. He feels he has my trust. If I trust him it is because I believe he should stay in field “, he added.
