What Rabiot does for Allegri’s Milan

The horse moves in L, as in the chess. Adrien Rabiot in Allegri’s new Milan defends Largo on the left, an exterior of midfield in 4-4-2, but when the team recovers the ball has the right to concentrate and cut towards the door. He is not such a simple player to read but one thing is already clear: Rabiot will always play, week after week. Allegri has been in love for some time and he is already important for Milan.

Rabiot with Bologna

Milan-Bologna hit for the condition. Rabiot is already well and not by chance he went to the field immediately, without going through the street and bench. Allegri, who took months to give a starter shirt to Dybala, with Adrien he didn’t think about it for a moment: inside immediately. It will also be a crazy horse but he, on the lawn, does not go there. And how did it go, this first game with Milan? Well. The tasks are already quite clear. Allegri asked Rabiot to attack the defense of Bologna starting from the left. The structure was original: Gimenez, a striker of 1.80 or a little more, as a reference; Two towers like Loftus-Cheek and Rabiot behind him. Adrien is not quick in the short but he knows how to be unpredictable in his own way: sometimes he helps the dribble and gives a solution to the short one to those who have the ball, others reads the situation before and throws himself into the area. The defender who sees him arrives two accounts on weight and height and understands that with the number 12, if the right cross arrives, it is not negotiated.

Rabiot, even if we see him for years, hits for what he does with the ball. They called him Duke for the elegance with the ball and the Monsieur variant, introduced by crowds, seems to refer to the same concept. And then everyone knows it, it is dangerous in the other area also on the corners: not by chance Allegri, at the first with Milan, has sent him several times to jump on the first post, looking for a shot, a detour or a spit. Rabiot, however, is precious even without the ball. Milan with Bologna often defended with a 4-4-2 in which Adrien was the left midfielder, a position occupied also in his Juventus version. He does not ask him to protect the area but to manage the band. He is not a specialist but he knows how to stay there: with the French national team he also happened to play left back. Estupinan, the true full -back, meanwhile thanks him: against Bologna he played his best game at Milan and, if you think that Rabiot’s presence has nothing to do with this, you are overcoming the power of the case.
