Journalist
Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
While Neymar's healthy lifestyle was often talked about during his adventure at Paris Saint-Germain, Daniel Riolo was sued by the Brazilian, losing the trial. This Monday, the day after the broadcast of an interview with the player broadcast by RMC, the journalist returned to this episode.
Welcomed with great fanfare in the capital in the summer of 2017, Neymar left through the back door six years later, joining Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia for €90M. Rare in the media, the former star of PSG returned to her visit to France in an interview broadcast Sunday evening on RMCshowing in particular regrets about his relationship with some of the supporters. “ For me, there was injustice, because I always gave my all on the pitchassured Neymar. I have no hard feelings, but I was a little sad about the way I was treated by the supporters, especially when they came to my house, when they wanted to invade my house, insult me or want to hit me. For me, they crossed the line. Our relationship was no longer respectful, while I always respected them… It was really a complicated situation ».
“I think the PSG supporters were perfectly fair”
Very critical of the time of his passage to PSG, Daniel Riolo did not review his position after this interview. “ From 2021, for two years he played barely 50% of the matches, he spent his time in nightclubs, drinking, partying. He was hurt because he had a dissolute side liferecalled the journalist from RMC in the show Estelle Midi. I remind you that this gentleman sued me for what I said, and what happened? I won the case. So what I said was true because I provided all the evidence. I think that the PSG supporters were perfectly fair because they were fooled by this guy who for a whole summer didn't stop saying 'I don't give a damn about the club, I want go away'. It's not because he gave an interview to Marion Bartoli that everything disappears ».
“He asked me for more than €100,000 even though he earns €30 million per year”
Daniel Riolo also recalled his background with Neymarwho had decided to take legal action against the journalist who had assured that the Brazilian had already arrived at training “ in a terrible state, unable to train, borderline alcoholic “. A lawsuit won by Riolo at the end of 2023. “ This gentleman lost a lawsuit in which he asked me for more than 100,000€ while he earns 30 million per year, he tried to drag me through the mud. He lost the trial, and shamefully lost with all the arguments his lawyer had which were absolutely fallaciousconfided Riolo this Monday. I know that for a year, it pissed me off to prepare my trial against him and that it was very violent for everything he asked and I'm very happy to have won it because everything I said was true. Besides, I was the only journalist attacked by this guy even though I wasn't the only one to say all that about him, because everyone knew and no one had the courage to say what the we knew about this guy. »
