Daniel Riolo once again took out the fangs. Never stingy with criticisms against Paris Saint-Germain, the RMC journalist violently tackled Nasser Al-Khelaïfi in an interview with Nice-Matin this Sunday. A frontal attack on the president of the Parisian club, which he openly accuses of wanting “Control everything” in French football.
“I speak with all the presidents of Ligue 1 clubs. I really have no problem, except with the president of PSG”says Riolo, without detour. For him, the Qatari leader is in a logic of absolute domination: “In fact, I don't like people like him who seek to control everything, manipulate everything. To launch digital raids through relay accounts. »»
Strong remarks, which recall some of the controversies spent around PSG communication on social networks. Riolo does not stop there and continues the comparisons: “I hated Tapie who did the same thing, I hated the all-powerful alas that wanted to control everything. »» A way of placing al-Khelaïfi in line with the most divisive leaders in the history of French football.
“It lies us”
The journalist goes even further, directly arresting the Parisian president: “I want him to understand that either he lies and does not want Ligue 1 to be strong, or he must not behave as he does. »» In short, a clear warning towards a man he deems harmful for the championship ecosystem.
As for him, there is no question of swapping the microphone for an official function: ” President ? Not sincerely. Perhaps twenty years ago … President, it was perhaps the only position that made me vibrate, but no longer at all today. »» No political career in football for Riolo, but still the same freedom of tone.
