Adrien Rabiot has been a key player for AC Milan so far this season and Fabio Capello, the legendary manager, believes he has even made life easier for Luka Modric.
Despite being announced on deadline day, and arriving after the first international break, Rabiot has already shown what he can add to this Milan side. He has received high ratings in all appearances so far and last time out, he was named the MOTM by us.
Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport in view of Sunday’s clash between Milan and Napoli, Capello was asked about Rabiot’s impact so far. The former Rossoneri manager even said that the Frenchman is making life easier for Modric.
“Rabiot is the player who has impressed me the most in these first few games: angry, determined, decisive. I believe has has been even better than he was at Juventus. And with a Rabiot like that, everything is easier even for a professor like Modric,” he stated.
Rabiot is expected to play from start against Napoli and so is Modric, meaning Massimiliano Allegri will be able to rely on a strong midfield. It also looks like Rafael Leao could make the bench, which is a big boost.
