Juventus: Massimiliano Allegri « pleasantly surprised » by Adrien Rabiot

Massimiliano Allegri, coach of Juventus Turin, before facing Udinese this Saturday (8:45 p.m.): « Adrien Rabiot was criticized after Wednesday’s match (1-2 defeat against Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup) but I think he had a good game. He caused a lot of problems for his vis-à-vis, Nicolo Barella. Rabiot took over Barella who is nevertheless a player renowned for his great activity on the ground and for his technique. But Rabiot made a lot of effort for the team and it was a pleasant surprise. He ran a lot, he worked a lot to help the team. He delivered a very good performance in this role. »
