Sunday, Brice Samba was unable to avoid the defeat of Stade Rennais against OGC Nice (1-2), during the ninth day of Ligue 1. Helpless on the goals of Sofiane Diop and Jonathan Clauss in the first period, the goalkeeper of the Breton club showed solidarity with Habib Beye, after the match.
“We didn’t let go of the coach, that shows in the way we behave on the pitch. A dead team does not have this reaction. We are always behind the coach, we respect his instructions, we put into practice what he asks us to do”declared the 31-year-old doorman in the mixed zone.
Words which may seem surprising, insofar as Brice Samba would have worked behind the scenes to
the departure of Habib Beye. “Seko Fofana and especially Brice Samba decided that Beye was dead, that he was not a good coach, that they did not want to work with him and that it was not going well”revealed Daniel Riolo on October 6.
Samba-Riolo, the passing of arms
Accusations to which the former Racing Club de Lens player responded. “What was said about me were slander, made up things, he assures. This is absurd, it calls into question my professional integrity. »
For his part, Daniel Riolo maintains his remarks.
“Since (Brice) Samba says that I said stupid things, I invite Seko Fofana here and he comes to say that he 100% supports the Stade Rennais coach. (…) He has been rubbish since he arrived in Rennes, rubbish,” rebelled
the companion of Géraldine MailletSunday evening, in “L’After Foot”.
