That's right, as you can see. It could be a sensational headline or a misleading clickbait , but it really isn't. Sometimes we find it hard to believe that these situations can occur in professional football, but seeing the main actors in this improvised tragicomedy, it's not that surprising.
Sometimes, there are family members who overreact and think they have more power than they really do. It is a similar case to the neighbour who is appointed president of a community and believes himself to be the President of the Government. In this case, the repeat offender Veronique Rabiot has returned to the scene.
He already messed things up at the Eurocup
Veronique, the mother of former PSG player Adrien Rabiot, is a tough woman. She rarely keeps quiet and when she speaks, she leaves no stone unturned. At Euro 2021, the French team, which is not exactly short of egos, was Veronique's main target.
According to RMC Sport , the player's mother went crazy after Kylian Mbappé's missed penalty that led to France's elimination by Switzerland. She then reprimanded Mbappé's father in the following way: "Get your son back on track and make him less arrogant."
She also took aim at the family of midfielder Paul Pogba. According to 'Le Parisien', members of Pogba's family complained about Rabiot's repeated loss of the ball. The mother heard everything and waited until the end of the match to blame Paul Pogba for the French team's defeat.
Meanwhile, Adrien Rabiot tried to put out all the fires his mother was causing on social media. "Unity in victory as in defeat" was what the Olympique de Marseille footballer posted on his social media.
Al-Khelaifi also received his share
As if that weren't enough, this woman doesn't back down from anyone and the PSG president also had to put up with this lady's excesses. Under the motto "he takes care of the pitch, I take care of everything else" , Veronique Rabiot went to negotiate with Nasser Al-Khelaifi the renewal of her son's contract.
They never reached an agreement and, to make matters worse, the player left for free to Juventus in Turin, where he has been for the last five years. The fact that they did not receive any amount of money for the Frenchman or agreed to a renewal, greatly annoyed the Parisian board.
Atlético de Madrid, the latest to suffer
Thanks to the 'After Foot' programme on French media outlet RMC, we have been able to find out about the latest outrage by Rabiot's mother. Bruno Satin, Rabiot's agent, harshly criticises Veronique Rabiot for her interference in negotiations with any club.
" I spoke to Atlético's sporting director at the end of July and he told me: 'I had two conversations with the mother and I stopped immediately because she was explaining to me where her son would play'. It quickly tires all the professionals, it's unbearable."
It is quite shocking how this lady continues to act, as she does not seem to care much about her son's interests. All this fuss she puts on at clubs has meant that until two days ago Adrien Rabiot could not find a team to play for. Finally, he has ended up signing with Olympique de Marseille , may God help them.
