Despite the presence of players like Barcola or Doué at the kick-off, PSG had big difficulties against Espaly. This is due to very disappointing individual performances from several Parisian players.
Espaly did not come far from achieving a monumental feat Wednesday evening in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against Paris Saint-Germain. Five minutes from the end of regulation time, the residents of National 3 were tied with the reigning French champion before finally cracking (2-4). For PSG, this victory is not glorious because the talent of the players aligned by Luis Enrique should have allowed them to take cover well before. Regular starters such as Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué were lined up at kick-off. But the two French wingers were slapped on the knuckles by Daniel Riolo after the Blue and Red’s laborious qualification.
“It’s been a while since I’ve spoken about it, it’s been a month since I said his name, but can we safely say that Barcola was terrible? His ball control, everything he’s been doing for a long time now is very bad. And I would even say that it has been since the start of the season apart from certain small matches where he enjoyed himself” Daniel Riolo first spoke about Bradley Barcola (10 goals in Ligue 1), whose poor form is cause for concern. Regarding Désiré Doué, it is nevertheless different and the RMC journalist pointed out more of a lack of humility in this match.
Daniel Riolo hits Désiré Doué
“Désiré Doué, I have congratulated him a lot recently for his initiative and his character. In this match, he shows some worrying things. A guy being cocky against a small team is never a good sign. He was extremely pretentious, he thought he was the Neymar of Neymar’s worst moments, like I’m going to dribble past three guys, I’m going to show these peasants from National 3. If he has this problem, he will never be the player which I hope he will be one day because he has many qualities. If I’m Luis Enrique, I’ll take him and give him a speech of humility.” believes Daniel Riolo, more convinced by the potential of Doué compared to that of Barcola and who hopes that the former Rennais will quickly return to the right path to explode at the highest level in the capital, and if possible avoid following the dark path borrowed by Neymar throughout his career.
