The integration of Adrien Rabiot with the Olympique de Marseille, although initially perceived as a reinforcement of the team thanks to its undeniable technical qualities, now raises questions about its impact on the game system set up by Roberto De Zerbi. Former goaltender Lionel Charbonier expressed his point of view, stressing that the arrival of Rabiot led to a significant change in the tactical approach of the team, questioning the overall improvement of performance. He insists that the addition of a talented player does not automatically guarantee a collective progression, and that the balance of the team has been disrupted by this integration.

In a recent press conference, Adrien Rabiot addressed several crucial aspects of team dynamics, including his leadership role in the changing room and the need to correct defensive weaknesses. He highlighted his commitment to passing on his experience to the young players, inspired by the example of great names he had alongside the Juventus, and recognized the need for better coordination of the dry cleaning and greater defensive concentration. In addition, he has great confidence in his own state of fitness and welcomes the evolution of his offensive involvement, stressing the satisfaction of the technical staff with the adaptation of his performance.

Finally, the qualification for the Champions League remains the primary objective of the Olympique de Marseille, and Adrien Rabiot stressed the importance of a general mobilisation to achieve this ambitious goal. The match against Monaco, a direct competitor, represents a crucial opportunity to stand out and consolidate hopes of participation in the European competition. The team, incarnated by the determination of Adrien Rabiot, seeks to regain a consistent result in order to secure a place on the Ligue 1 podium and achieve the ambitions displayed at the beginning of the season.
