Daniel Riolo made comments critical of the private life of a French international footballer.
Renowned for his strong opinions, Daniel Riolo gave his point of view on the debate concerning the overwork of footballers. Although he recognizes that the pace imposed by the authorities is too high, the After Foot columnist does not spare the players, accused of “ too much » according to him.
Riolo then illustrated his point by evoking the habits of certain footballers, even going so far as to mention the name of the French international striker of Paris Saint-Germain, Ousmane Dembélé, when he addressed certain escapades off the field.
“All these guys who want the butter, the butter money…”
« I'm not going to cry about Dembélé, if I'm about all those guys who want the money, the money, the outings, the girls, the alcohol, the parties, the hookahs“, thundered the journalist on RMC this week, suggesting that the 2018 world champion did not have a suitable lifestyle.
« Oh, guys, I'm not going to come and complain about you, you're billionaires. Suddenly, you'll be partying at the ends of the earth. You are good for 5 years, you stuffed yourself, leave room for others“, concluded Daniel Riolo, visibly upset.
