Coach of PSG between 2013 and 2016, Laurent Blanc has not known a bench since his Parisian experience. During his passage in the capital, the 98 world champion had highlighted a young boy trained at the club and back from loan from Toulouse: Adrien Rabiot.
In the columns ofTuttosport, the "President" was rave about the current midfielder of Juventus Turin he revealed: "Since the resumption, I saw an Adrien very similar to the one I trained at PSG . More enterprising and in the heart of the game, but it can still do better. He must become a midfielder with 5/10 goals per season, he probably hasn't yet understood how strong he is. "
"He's a great talent"
Strongly criticized for his disappointing performances at the start of the season, Rabiot, 25, struggled to make his nest in the Turin workforce. But for Laurent Blanc, everything is a question of time. The qualities of the native of Saint-Maurice (Val-de-Marne) will eventually burst on the other side of the Alps. "Juve must insist and be patient because he is a great talent," adds Blanc. And the fact that Adrien plays in place of Matuidi means that he is on the right track because I know how difficult it is for a coach to do without Blaise. "
While he had still not scored since his arrival at Juventus in July 2019, Adrien Rabiot distinguished himself with a magnificent first goal against AC Milan (4-2) on Tuesday. The French international scored with a heavy left strike after a 70-meter race. A performance that could allow the former Parisian to earn his place in the eleven Turin in the long term.
