Throughout the first part of the season, Daniel Riolo made very virulent remarks towards Luis Enrique. The sports journalist sometimes even sought to ridicule the Spanish coach of the capital's club.

In particular by decizing it with nicknames more ridiculous than each other. As Géo Foundouin reference to the fictional character from the world of ducks. Or “Gifi”, to make a parallel with the product distribution brand at low prices for the house and the family, whose slogan is “Genius ideas”.

As of the final whistle of the meeting between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, many were the Internet users to ask Géraldine Maillet's companion to account. Several of them, including Booba, even asked him for his resignation. Daniel Riolo therefore tried to justify himself.

Riolo refuses to recognize his wrongs

“I give a lot of importance to the COM and I said that it was someone who does not interest me, that her documentary did not interest me, that I think the same thing as the Spanish journalist (which he criticized on Saturday). But that's how it is part of life. From the match against City, you take your car, you tidy it and you say: 'It's good, there is nothing more to say, you have adapted, everything is fine'. But those who arrive saying 'I had seen everything, I knew everything' … you cannot know how much I dab it “he explained on RMC.

Without ever apologizing, Daniel Riolo even camped on some of his words: “On November 30 after Nantes, there were real questions. I asked club people if we had to talk like that to journalists, especially after the Margot Dumont affair and I was replied: 'We think it is not useful to be in this role.' I noted that afterwards, there was no longer that and it no longer bothered me. Regarding management, look at all the images of Dembéle that comes out of the field at the time after Arsenal and you will see the gaze he addresses to Luis Enrique, there is none. So there was a crisis. ”
