Rabiot: "With AC Milan we will have nine matches in 27 days, we hope there are no injuries"

France and Italy drew 1-1 in their Nations League clash, and AC Milan midfielder Adrien Rabiot stole the show. Speaking to Sky Sport after the match, the Frenchman gave his verdict on the new-look Italy side and on his future with the Rossoneri when they return from the long break.

Italy

"Italy played a good game, but we dominated and deserved to win, Donnarumma had an outstanding game with 3-4 incredible saves. Italy also played well for spirit, they showed something and that was not a given after the defeat in the first game against Belgium. We did more and created more, we would have deserved more"

Zidane

" Zidane's arrival? There are plenty of positives . He's asking different things of us, like pressing straight away to win the ball back immediately, playing plenty of one-on-ones and having a great team spirit. In that respect we're showing a lot, and the forwards are also running a lot. It was a good match".

Milan? Let’s hope there are no injuries

"Milan? First we have Belgium at home. It will be important to finish top of the group, then we'll have a few days to switch off a bit and return to Milanello to focus on the next matches. I think there are 9 matches in 27-28 days, it will be tough. We will have to be ready, we hope there will not be too many injuries . For the moment I am focused on Monday's match against Belgium."
