In a press conference held this Friday, at the dawn of a crucial confrontation against AS Monaco, the midfielder of Olympique de Marseille, Adrien Rabiot, answered journalists’ questions. This meeting, which will take place tomorrow at the Stade Louis-II, looks like a real shock at the top of the Ligue 1, opposing the third and second of the rankings, respectively AS Monaco and OM. The fight for second place, synonymous with qualifying for the Champions League, is of particular intensity, with both teams separating only by a two-point gap, making this match of crucial importance for both.
Asked about the sanctions imposed on Paris Saint-Germain following the display of banners bearing his name at the last Classique, Adrien Rabiot expressed his desire to turn the page. He said that he had tried to maintain a maximum concentration on the field during the game, and he did not want to expand on that. Although he recognized a potential emotional impact as a human being, he pointed out that he had not been disturbed in his role as a footballer.
Finally, the player insisted on the need to remain focused and positive, directing all his attention towards the ultimate objective of the Olympique de Marseille: qualification for the Champions League. This willingness to refocus on the ground and put the case behind him demonstrates his determination to contribute fully to the performance of his team in this decisive meeting.
