Rabiot shifts focus to team effort after MOTM-performance: “This is a team victory”

Adrien Rabiot was the big hero for AC Milan in their 3-1 win against Como, and afterwards, he shared his thoughts with the media. 

Many have said that Rabiot could be considered as one of the best summer signings in Serie A, given just how much experience he has and the low price Milan paid (under €10m). Tonight, the Frenchman definitely fueled that narrative.

In addition to winning the penalty, Rabiot scored the other two goals to lead Milan to a comeback victory, named the MOTM by us. Speaking to DAZN after the game, as transcribed by MilanNews, the midfielder said the win showcased the Rossoneri’s mentality.

A special evening for you…

“This is a team victory, it shows our mentality. We struggled a lot in the first half, but then we didn’t give up. We talked at half-time and came back with a different mentality to go for the three points.

“Mike played a great game too. We all gave something extra, but sometimes you have to be the one to decide the game. I’m very happy with the two goals, obviously, but also with the team’s mentality.”

This week, you practised long-distance shots…

“I’m happy because what we scored in training translates into matches, and we need this hard work, but also this mentality of never giving up. Even if we fall behind, we are still in the game. I’m very, very happy, let’s keep going like this.”

Lecce are up next for Milan, more specifically on Sunday evening, and it will be important to grab another three points in that one. The Rossoneri loanee Francesco Camarda has been ruled out for the game, it should be noted.
