The midfielder spoke to Sky Sport: «My dream is to do everything to win this year. Maignan is very strong, I hope he stays. Leao has already changed”
Among the key men at the start of the season MilanMassimiliano Allegri’s man, metronome of the Rossoneri midfield. Adrien Rabiot is a factor in this Milan set out to achieve a place in the next Champions League but now, with just one point behind leaders Inter, dreams of the Scudetto.
Rabiot spoke about it to Sky Sport: «Finishing in the top four is the club’s general objective and we know it. Personally, I’m aiming for something biggerbecause it’s not like if you can get ten you can settle for six or seven.” The Frenchman then launched the challenge: in the case of the tricolor, he does not rule out getting a tattoo: «My dream is to do everything to win this year and then to continue to grow, because there are always margins. I don’t have any tattoos but I might get one if we win the championship. It would be an even more important tattoo. I consider myself a person who thinks a lot before doing things. And, yes, for a victory like that I could really think about it.”
Rabiot spoke about the relationship with Allegri: «We all know Allegri: he is good, it is very important for a team to have a coach who is so good at both a football and human level. It affects our minds a lot. We know that football is not just a question of legs and the coach understood this a long time ago. It’s true, there is a different relationship with him: he spoke to me a lot straight away, he helped me in terms of mentality. He understands me, sometimes even without speaking. It doesn’t happen with everyone. My nickname “Crazy Horse”? We haven’t talked much about his passion for horses but I know he obviously likes it. I like this nickname! All the fans picked it up, it’s nice.”
On Maignan’s future: «He also spoke to me three, four years ago: he tried to get me to come to Milan. He is a friend but above all he is a strong, very strong player: there are few goalkeepers like that in the world of football. Then I won’t go into everything that surrounds this, but as a Milan player I obviously hope he stays because he is difficult to replace. We need him, we have seen at the start of the championship what he can do, how he too can decide matches. I don’t know what will happen but he has been at Milan for many years and he is someone who matters for the club and for its history.” And Leao? «It’s fair to say that he also has potential: he is strong, he has demonstrated it. But from what I saw when I arrived now, it has already changed. In terms of attitude on the pitch there is already something different and everything starts from here: he must maintain this aspect.”
