September 22 Not long ago, Albertini was interviewed by the Milan Sports Daily and talked about Milan's new aid Rabiot.

He said: "Did I expect Rabiot to become so critical immediately? Of course, I expected it because he knew Allegri, and the two spoke the same 'football language'. His joining helped the team better understand the coach's tactical intentions, which is why Allegri asked the club to sign him so strongly. If Rabiot didn't play well at the beginning, I would be surprised. He is 30 years old, familiar with our league, and is exactly the type that the team lacked before."

"Fofana? He is the perfect midfielder. If he can still score the goal like he did in the game against Udinese... This French player has very outstanding abilities, and he can show these characteristics more easily around Modric and Rabiot. "

" In the defensive stage, the role of a midfielder is very important. If the opponent inserts at extremely fast speed, or the defense line is always forced to defend one-on-one, even the strongest defender in the world will struggle. Now Milan's defense line is better protected and the effect has begun to appear."
