She admits it herself. When her son Adrien is in the France team, it “makes holidays” for Véronique. No need to manage “travel, removals, daily logistics”, it’s uncle DD and the staff of the Blues who take care of it. In an interview given to West Francethe mother of the Juventus midfielder confided in her role with her son, whom she advises: “Not on football, but everything that is outside”.
Véronique Rabiot explains that she had difficulty finding a place for herself in the world of football: “It is complicated for a woman to be accepted in the world of football, men do not like us to play on their ground. I had no other motivation than Adrien’s success. “And that his beginnings were complicated:” At the start, I tripped over the carpet, but I progressed. You have to be vigilant, because in a negotiation everyone tries to take cover. »
“Nothing disturbs Adrien”
She also returned to the label that sticks to her skin: “I am an authoritarian person, it’s true, my children have often reproached me for it. But not the one described in the media. What was said about the so-called episode that took place in the stands between me and the families of certain players during France-Switzerland at Euro 2021? I can’t talk about it, there is a procedure in progress. Now, when there is defamation, invasion of privacy or insults, I always go to court. »
Recently criticized in Italy for average performances with Juventus, Adrien Rabiot can count on the unfailing support of his mother, who lives with him in Turin: “Nothing disturbs him. He has always had a strong personality, he likes to have the last word. We haven’t forgiven him. And this from the age of 17. Mistakes, everyone makes them all their life. We don’t realize that footballers are teenagers when they start, that they have to grow up as men. »
