Adrien Rabiot, so far, has been the beating heart of this Milan and of Massimiliano Allegri. There’s no need to beat around the bush: the Rossoneri depend on Rabiot, and that’s a fact. When he plays, the team averages points worthy of a Scudetto; when he's absent, their points average wouldn’t even be enough to qualify for the Conference League.
Milan, Rabiot gears up for Napoli. And that curse…
Fortunately, there are no yellow cards keeping the "Mad Horse" out of the crucial clash at the Maradona Stadium on April 6, Napoli vs. Milan. The Rossoneri’s number 12 will be on the field to help the team secure those 3 points, which would certainly be a huge step toward next season’s Champions League, but could also keep the dream alive, carefully, of a Scudetto that currently seems firmly in Inter’s hands, as relayed via Milan Press.
Napoli, however, is a tough challenge, especially for the French midfielder, who sees the Neapolitan team as his Achilles’ heel. As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, Rabiot has never won in the Campanian capital; in fact, he has always lost there. Moreover, the Partenopei are the team against which he has played the most matches (12 in total) without ever scoring. If that isn’t a test…
Allegri says this is the best Rabiot ever, and it’s hard to disagree, but this match could be the one needed to give Max positive confirmation. Will the former Juve player finally break his curse against Napoli? We’ll have to wait about ten days to find out.
