The answer to the answer. Daniel Riolo reacted to the exit of Pierre Lees-Melou, Brest midfielder who denied, on Sunday, his information according to which he had dragged his feet a little to return to competition after his injury (fibula fracture in May) in due to his aborted transfers last winter (to Rennes) and this summer.
“I don’t think I said anything super serious and it wasn’t bullshit”
“I have good relations with the journalists, apart from one who spoke about me,” regretted the player on Sunday after the victory against Le Havre (2-0). “A consultant who apparently has a second career as a surgeon. He knows more things than the current surgeon. I’ll ask him for advice next time. Let him contact me if he wants info instead of talking bullshit to the “If I was absent, it was only because of my injury. He said it in the conditional, I can’t blame him.”
Launched on the subject Sunday evening in the After, Daniel Riolo maintains his information. “I am not a consultant, I am a journalist,” he first corrected. “A journalist doesn’t just give an opinion, he also has information. No, Mr. Lees-Melou, I didn’t say bullshit and I think you could have come back before (to the competition, Editor’s note) and that was said by other journalists, beyond the injury, the fact of not leaving meant that you dragged your feet a bit to come back. It’s not a career as a surgeon that I could have had. start but perhaps as a psychologist or trainer who makes the link between the head and the legs. I’m willing to be fooled about the fact that I’m a counter psychologist if he wants.
“I obviously don’t take back anything from what I said because it’s solid information,” adds Daniel Riolo. “Besides, it’s not super serious honestly, I didn’t say that he was the big bad wolf. I said that he had a very bad experience of not leaving last winter, the same for this summer and that it (his return) was not rushed He did not show a completely crazy desire to come back super quickly, he took his time. If he becomes the player he was last season. middle, the season is long and there will be no problem I don’t think I said anything super serious and it wasn’t bullshit He should know that Pierre Lees-Melou, I never say bullshit. , this is true (…) Players always forget that when journalists have very good information, it’s because it comes from very close to them.”
