Before Adrien Rabiot arrived, AC Milan lost their only game of the Serie A season. Now, they have not lost since…
Sometimes, things are so simple in football that they get forgotten, and with Rabiot, his arrival can fall into that category. The Frenchman, despite a very strange summer, landed in Milano ready for the third game of the Serie A season, and he was ready from the off.
For Massimiliano Allegri, his requests had not been successful all summer where he was involved, until late on. When the chance arose, he took it and Rabiot arrived after the first international break of the season.
Galloping with Rabiot
His impact on a basic level looks impressive enough. This morning, Tuttosport, via MilanNews, went deeper into the statistics.
He has been one of the Rossoneri’s most decisive players this season, bringing several key traits to the squad. From leadership to charisma, phyiscality to finishing, he has everything that Allegri’s midfield needs, and probably a little more.
He has played 13 games for the club, averaging 2.5 points per game with him in the side. If he played the remaining seventeen league games, continuing that average, by Allegri’s calculations, Milan would win the league.
Without him, the average falls to 1.6 points per game. A rather seismic drop, all things considered. Now, they must find others that can drive that average up, too.
Juventus really shot themselves in the foot by letting someone of Rabiot’s calibre go. they don’t even have any central midfielder on his level at the moment. their loss was temporarily Marseille”s gain and currently Milan’s gain
Yeah, juve let him gone with the same wage they offered, the same with Dybala they didn’t renew. we should have signed rabiot and Dybala the day they were free ffs.
On one side you’re correct, but don’t forget that Juve lost Rabiot because they couldn’t or didn’t want to meet his demands which were above 7,5M€ per year. We can’t afford that either.
Rabiot essentially found himself with no club and had to lower his demands to go to Marseille and we were able to get him with a lower transfer fee thanks to his fight with Rowe and with a salary of 5M€.
