Maignan joins AC Milan teammate Rabiot over blasting Perth Serie A game

  /  autty

AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan admits he agrees with Adrien Rabiot over their Serie A game in Perth later this season.

Rabiot has hit out at Lega Serie A's decision to relocate their clash with Como in December to Perth, Australia.

Maignan has sided with his France and Milan teammate, stating: "I fully agree with Adrien Rabiot.

"They forget a lot of things, they think a lot about the financial aspect. It's an Italian league match, I don't understand why it's being played abroad.

"Furthermore,  we're losing a home game, even though our objectives are high and we shouldn't leave anything to chance."

Last week, Rabiot stated: "It's completely crazy. After all, these are financial agreements to give the league some visibility. This is all beyond our means. The issue of fixtures, the health of the players, is much discussed, and it all seems crazy. It's crazy to travel so many kilometers to play a match between two Italian teams in Australia. We have to adapt. As always." -
