In Milan-Bologna on 14 September, French and English will meet against, exactly one month after the fists in the locker room of Rennes who put an end to their experience with the OM

September 1 – 15:44 – MILAN

The last time they had seen in the changing rooms of Rennes’ “Roazhon Park” and had certainly not been kisses and hugs. “In many years I have a fight I have never seen so I never saw him. I had Bakola on the ground with the doctor who tried to revive him, these who beat themselves …”, said De Zerbi a few days later. “These”, were Jonathan Rowe and Adrien Rabiot, teammates in Marseille and authors of a fight that forced the club to put them on the door. Well, as in a film screenplay, at the first useful opportunity the two will meet again: on September 14th at 8.45 pm in San Siro. Jokes of the calendar. The first with the Bologna shirt, the second with that of Milan.

Rabibit-Rowe, the fight with Marseille

The story is now well -known: Marseille loses in the debut in Ligue 1 in Rennes, the spirits warm up and the Englishman and the French begin to punch himself while the young Darryl Bakola accuses an illness for a vagal crisis. “Never seen nothing like that,” will confess the DS of the Oman Benatia. “Brawl from English pubs”, adding De Zerbi, commenting on the club’s decision to suspend the two players and invite them to find a new arrangement. Said, done: on August 24 Rowe goes to Bologna for 19.5 million euros, a week later Milan and Marseille find the agreement to bring Rabibot back to Allegri’s court for 10.

Milan-Bologna, immediately Rabiot against Rowe

Destiny (and the calendar specifically), however, knows how to play atrocious jokes. So, after the stop, here the two “quarrels” could find themselves immediately on opponents: it will depend on Allegri and Italian. From Icardi with Maxi Lopez to Ibrahimovic with Mido or Van de Vaart will certainly not be the first time that those who lived stories tense under the same roof find themselves in a close “enemy” tour on the pitch. Of course, however, neither Rowe nor Rabiot could have thought that exactly 30 days after Rennes’s fists they could have to tighten their hand a thousand kilometers away …
