“Two years of putting guys out”
Daniel Riolo delivered his point of view in After Foot, on RMC Sport, and he denounces the expectations placed on the shoulders ofEkitike this season at PSG : “ We are talking about Ekitike, the Reims striker, you have to calm down! PSG is obliged to say “Ekitike had to be at the Vélodrome”. But what are we talking about here? We are saying to ourselves: “Ekirike was missing!” But I never thought I would say that one day. The problem is there! You find yourself with kids on the bench and the Reims striker. It’s been two years that we have to put guys out “, estimated Riolo.
“PSG will recruit a 9”
He therefore believes that he lacks sizes in the offensive sector, and makes a big announcement on this subject on the next transfer window summer: “ Ekitike, it’s not possible, he doesn’t have the level of PSG, you can turn the problem around. And I will even say that he handicapped his career by coming to PSG. He should have continued in an average club to continue to progress. Next year, PSG will recruit a new 9 so again he will be a substitute. So apart from his bank account, everything will take a hit “, cowardly Riolo. It remains to be seen who will be the famous scorer expected for next summer.
