Bradley Barcola is in trouble. After a thunderous start to the season, the former Lyonnais has been marking time for several weeks. Less visible and less decisive, the 22-year-old winger is not spared from criticism.
Among Daniel Riolo’s favorite targets, Bradley Barcola was nicknamed “Bambi” by the RMC editorialist. A nickname he gave him a year ago, after the Parisians’ draw against Newcastle (1-1) during the group stage of the Champions League. That evening, the French international showed a glaring lack of efficiency in front of goal.
“I was told it hurt”
Yes, but this nickname ended up offending the young Parisian. So much so that the player’s entourage asked Daniel Riolo to stop. “ It’s officially the end of the Bambi nickname”declared the journalist on RMC.
“ As long as we don’t officially complain about it and from the moment I was told that it hurts and we don’t understand that it’s a joke, he continued. I don’t want to hurt people and as those around me obviously have a hard time with this and I’ve been officially informed of it, well we’re going to stop. If people suffer from a nickname… But above all, people are realizing that Désiré Doué is above him. And that, for once, is true. »
