Adrian Rabiot, AC Milan's midfielder, came off the bench in the second half in the match against Torino. After the game, he gave an interview to DAZN about owner Gerry Cardinale and his new role.

When asked about Cardinale's recent frequent contact with the team, Adrian Rabiot said the owner's support is crucial: "I think it's very important for the team to have the owner's support. We spoke a few days ago, and he communicated with several players, showing his trust in us and telling us what he expects from the team. I think that says everything. It's very important that he's here with us. The first match went well and the win was important. After that, we still have time to improve with the coach in areas where we weren't good enough."

When asked whether his decision to stay was influenced by Cardinale's communication, Adrian Rabiot said he had already made up his mind: "Actually, it wasn't necessary. I took some rest and relaxation, which was very important after the World Cup. When I came back, I was very eager to stay here and achieve success with my teammates and the new coach. I'm full of confidence about this."

When asked whether he considered leaving AC Milan after Allegri departed, Adrian Rabiot said no: "No, I like to do things well. After finishing a season like this, if I left AC Milan because we didn't qualify for the Champions League, I wouldn't be happy with that outcome."

He revealed that the new coach quickly showed confidence in him after taking the job: "After I heard about the new coach's appointment, even though we didn't communicate much during the World Cup, he messaged me quickly to tell me that I'm very important to his plans. I had already decided to stay, but I needed to rest and take a vacation. That helped me a lot."

In this match, Adrian Rabiot was deployed as an attacking midfielder in a 3-4-2-1 system. He said he's comfortable with this role: "After communicating with the coach, we both agreed that I can play as either a double pivot or an attacking midfielder. I'm happy to help the team in midfield, and I can also play in a higher position. This role is quite similar to what I played under De Zerbi at Marseille. I'm familiar with it and like it because I can get into the box and score, which is something I enjoy."

Adrian Rabiot also acknowledged the team's current tactical philosophy: "I like the coach's playing philosophy, including ball possession and playing more aggressive football through high pressing after losing the ball. These are things I like, so I'm very happy."

Finally, Adrian Rabiot acknowledged that his physical condition is still not at its best: "I've only trained with the team for a week, but I'm giving 100%. I still need to work hard because I'm not fully recovered yet. However, I'm very happy to have scored and assisted tonight."
