Daniel Riolo made very vehement remarks towards AS Monaco, following the elimination of the Principality club in the Coupe de France.
AS Monaco is having a very delicate start to 2024. In difficulty in Ligue 1, the Principality club drew a line under the Coupe de France by losing on penalties against Rouen, a National 1 club (1-1, 5-6 tab).
An elimination which arrives at the stage of the round of 16 for a club which had great ambitions in this competition. Daniel Riolo did not beat around the bush when commenting on this result.
” It’s a shame ! »
“ This is more than professional misconduct, it is unacceptable. We congratulate Rouen, we all loved it, it’s the Coupe de France, we love it. But Monaco – which will not be champion, which is struggling to get the podium, which has had a very interesting start to the season and hasn’t put one foot in front of the other for three months – you tell yourself that when are they going to even try in the Coupe de France, but they do it again, like year after year, of falling into lethargy“, launched Riolo.
“ Balogun arrived in Monaco, it was a bomb but he is no longer moving forward, there is nothing left. Minamino, we thought we had found him at the start of the season but now it’s over. There is no more game. At one point, I saw Kehrer get angry and reassemble the troops. If it’s Kehrer who starts motivating his friends, it’s ruined because he’s a loser. Adi Hütter, you have the impression that he has shrunk by thirty centimeters in front of his bench, he no longer controls anything. The club fell asleep. It’s the disappearance of Monaco, it’s lamentable“, concluded the RMC journalist.
