Meh.
Don’t buy the theory that Rabiot, ( or most other top level athletes ) would underperform on purpose. I could potentially see that happening in a case where you’ve achieved everything in the game and just want to wing it later ( like Ronaldinho’s late Barca career and beyond ) but Rabiot’s case is different.
He’s always had potential, which even the most passionate of his haters will admit. Despite that, he hasn’t achieved anything that he could potentially achieve so far..no world cup win, no euro win, no CL, no major individual awards. A football player’s life is around 14-15 years at the top of your absolute physical ability barring any injuries. Why would he make a concentrated effort to be lethargic and lazy for 3 of these 14-15 years at Juve, on purpose?
Unlike PSG, he hasn’t thrown any tantrums at Juve and has always been available when called upon. His improved performances are a simple case of Allegri figuring out how to get the best out of him. That’s it. Yes, the motivation to earn a fat contract would be part of it, but likely not the only reason as most of Tuz would have you believe.
One day he will captain this team, Palestine will be free and Burger King will stop putting horse meat their patties.
