RMC journalist Daniel Riolo raised his voice after the Paris Saint-Germain match in Lens last Sunday.
“ Bambi“. This is the sweet nickname attributed to Bradley Barcola by the journalist Daniel Riolo. The latter did not hesitate to make very critical remarks towards the young French international Espoir after his missed opportunities against Newcastle in the Champions League (1-1).
Water has flowed under the bridges since then, and Bradley Barcola has gained momentum, to the point of starting a series of tenures with PSG. Since this famous match against the Magpies, in which he came on, the former Lyonnais has started 5 times in Ligue 1 (Le Havre, Nantes, Lille, Metz and Lens). “ Let’s calm down, he played a match on Sunday evening and he scored a goal. It’s incredible to catch fire so quickly. Barcola didn’t start all the matches, are we forgetting or what?“, thundered Daniel Riolo on RMC.
“Let’s take our time!” “
If his After Foot colleague Florent Gautreau recalled the increasing playing time and the good performance of the young striker, Daniel Riolo persisted and signed. “ He has a good match in prime time and that’s it, he’s the star and he’s on fire. This player is not finished, let’s calm down, it’s not possible to get so worked up about players. Side players who had some good matches at PSG, we saw tons of them: Draxler, Lucas Moura… We saw lots of them and then in the Champions League, there was no one left. Let’s take our time! He was paid 35 million (45), look what the poor guy is doing. He’s been more bad than good since he’s been at PSG. It pisses me off that people think they’re a second-hat player, there’s something else to say. Just because after a match where he was terrible I said he was a little Bambi, I’m going to be locked into a character with Barcola, I’m just saying he’s a guy who must grow and who must not burn“, concluded Riolo, reassured.
