During his press conference, Roberto de Zerbi announced today by Get Frans Voetbalnieuws that he spoke to Marseille Outcast Adrien Rabiot (30) this morning.
The Italian revealed that Rabiot apologized to him, but that his decision has now been set in stone. “He apologized. He finds the decision too drastic, too harsh. But I told him that I would talk about it today at the conference,” the Zerbi revealed on the Marseille training field. “If he was my son, I would have done the same as his coach. You can suffer, you can make a decision that you don't want to make, and that's what happened.” “But sometimes the duty comes first. I gave him some paternal advice. But now he will see what he wants to do,” the Italian coach added. Earlier in the conference, the Italian had risen the entourage of Rabiot on Monday on their response to the suspension of the Frenchman. “These are the facts: on Monday, when the decision was communicated to the players, it was temporary. When things escalated, not because of the people around the player,” said the Zerbi, referring to Veronique Rabiot.
