Even though Marco Verratti has left PSG for six months now, Daniel Riolo continues to regularly criticize the Italian midfielder.
Sunday evening, at the Mosson stadium against Montpellier, Kylian Mbappé is not the only Paris Saint-Germain player to have produced an excellent copy. In a role as a relay midfielder, Vitinha also delivered a very high level performance.
The 24-year-old Portuguese international has demonstrated unfailing consistency this season, which was not the case for Marco Verratti during his last years in Paris. “ Verratti… All the years with 50% of matches played, all the dribbling that was useless… Take stock today when you see Vitinha“ compared Daniel Riolo, Sunday evening on the airwaves of RMC.
Verratti, a traitor?
The sports journalist really couldn't stand the Italian midfielder anymore. “I loved him for five years and was ready to forgive him when he was never around. But after a while, there was a feeling of frustration which turned into betrayal. I can't stand the guy who's out all the time, who smokes all the time, who eats anything, who spends more time in luxury hotels and he doesn't do anything for his club. I don't like players who betray”he confided last September.
At that time, Marco Verratti left PSG to join the Al-Arabi club, for a reported amount of 45 million euros. Since then, the “little owl” has played twelve matches in the Qatar Stars League, without scoring a single goal.
