‘It doesn’t affect him’ – Valentin Rongier on Adrien Rabiot Parc des Princes return | OneFootball

It’s been one of the talking points of the upcoming Classique clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille on Sunday evening: Adrien Rabiot will make his return to the Parc des Princes in a Marseille shirt. L’Équipe reported this week that PSG employees have been asked to prepare in case the Classique is abandoned due to fan behaviour. A concern is that the return of Rabiot to the Parc could incite a hostile welcome for the Frenchman, that could go beyond the usual rough and tumble of the sporting rivalry between the two sides.Marseille midfielder Valentin Rongier was present during the pre-match press conference attended by Get French Football News, held exceptionally at the Vélodrome on Friday. The Frenchman revealed that Rabiot has not been perturbed by the noise surrounding his return to the Parc des Princes. “We’ve spoken about it with him a little bit,” said Rongier. “Either he hides it well, or it doesn’t affect him too much because we didn’t feel like a different Adrien. He’s not the only one heading to the Parc des Princes, it’s all of us, and if anything happens the whole team will be affected. It’s up to use to be by his side.”There have been concerns that the game could be stopped due to homophobic chanting, which was the subject discussed on Thursday by local authorities at a security meeting. L’Équipe reported that managing a potential abandonment of the fixture was discussed.GFFN | George Boxall – Reporting from Marseille.
