Since the start of the campaign, Adrien Rabiot has been enjoying a change in his career. The midfielder is finally making good on his early career promise after three disappointing years in Turin.
The 27-year-old has recently established himself as a mainstay at both Juventus and the French national team.
In their bid to defend their title, Les Bleus have put a lot of trust in the former PSG man who took advantage of the absence of Paul Pogba and N’Golo Kante to consolidate himself as a regular starter alongside Aurelien Tchouameni in the role of double pivot.
Last night, France battled against arch-rivals England in the World Cup quarter-finals and emerged victorious with a 2-1 score.
But as ilbianconero explains, the main Italian media had different opinions about Rabiot’s performance against the Three Lions.
Il Corriere dello Sport rated the player’s performance 6/10, highlighting his role as a mere ball chaser.
For its part, the Gazzetta dello Sport was somewhat more generous with a 6.5 note. The pink newspaper explains that the Frenchman’s touch was not always neat, but he relied on his strong physique to win duels in the middle of the park and launch attacks towards the English team.
Ultimately, Tuttosport praised Rabiot’s performance, describing it as a positive outing and giving it a rating of 7/10.
