Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
After 7 years at PSG, Kylian Mbappé packed his bags during the last summer transfer window. Against all expectations, the capital club ultimately did not recruit anyone to compensate for the departure of the French international. In Paris, we counted a lot on Bradley Barcola. While some really thought they had found Mbappé's successor with the former OL player, Daniel Riolo wanted to make a huge rant.
Having reached the end of his contract at PSG, Kylian Mbappé flew to the Real Madrid. A page in history has therefore been turned for the capital club and obviously, the question of the Frenchman's succession arose. Paris. Big names were then announced to join the squad of Luis Enriquebut no stars were recruited. THE PSG then left with the players he had, counting heavily on Bradley Barcola. Faced with the 22-year-old's great start to the season, many thought they had found the replacement for Kylian Mbappé.
“I want to speak out against this”
This does not fail to make you hallucinate Daniel Riolo. On the occasion of L’After Foothe thus gave a huge rant concerning the fact that Bradley Barcola could have been the successor of Kylian Mbappé au PSG. Riolo thus blurted out: “ Barcola? I'm a little angry. Lately, stats are starting to come out about him, I think we didn't need stats, magnifying glasses, glasses to see that in the Champions League, we weren't there yet. The stats and figures that come out are particularly in the last 8 matches, there is no goal, no assist. There was an intervention from Luis Enrique to say “But what do you mean? You start asking questions about him when a month ago everyone was talking about him like Maradona.” There, for once, Luis Enrique was right, but that doesn't mean that he had protected him much before. Since last year he sent the message, he expected Barcola to be Mbappé's successor. In any case, it entered the heads of Barcola and those around him that this was the case. I want to speak out against this ».
“He will never be as strong as Mbappé”
« We still have a little experience now, I could make an endless list, what annoys me is the exaggeration, the media narration. We created that of Barcola who was ultimately to be Mbappé's replacement. It never will be. He will never be as strong as Mbappé. That doesn't mean he won't have a good career, that he's not a good player. But since day one, I've been fighting against it. (…) I went to look at all the comments, over the year, the accounts, the famous pro-PSG accounts, they are PSG relays, if you knew the enormities that I found on “the phenomenon”, “ in 2 months we will have forgotten Mbappé.” Amazing things », continued Daniel Riolo on Bradley Barcola and the succession of Kylian Mbappé au PSG.
