Very critical of Bradley Barcola on Tuesday evening, Daniel Riolo maintained his comments yesterday. According to the journalist, the former Lyonnais does not have the level to play this type of match in the Champions League.
Tuesday evening, Bradley Barcola came into play at 62e minute against Newcastle, to replace Randal Kolo Muani. The former Lyonnais missed several clear chances, which made Daniel Riolo furious.
On Wednesday evening, the sports journalist persisted in the idea that Barcola’s inexperience in the Champions League could not be a valid excuse. “We always have to find the excuse of age. As Mbappé said at the time, there is no such thing as young or not young. Barcola is 21 years old. In today’s context, it’s not even that young! So those who were offended by my requirement…”sighed Daniel Riolo in the show “L’After Foot”.
💥 Daniel Riolo returns to his comments on Barcola:
🗣 “I don’t accept the excuse of age. Bambi is nice (…) those around him don’t accept criticism. From the moment you enter the club, you accept everything that comes with it. ” #RMClive pic.twitter.com/AbcaVxrOEE

The editorialists can’t believe that Barcola has “harvested” so much. “Missing a clear opportunity happens to everyone. Twice is a little more annoying but it can happen. But three huge and five total is too many. That means you made a cataclysmic entrance and you’re not up to par. I think his training is not finished, everything went too quickly for him,” concludes Daniel Riolo.
