Daniel Riolo has completely changed his opinion on one of the players he criticized the most in the industry.

Known for his strong opinions, Daniel Riolo was able to be extremely critical of certain players. The RMC journalist has often expressed vehement comments when speaking about footballers like Marco Verratti, Neymar, or more recently Bradley Barcola and Rayan Cherki.

But it seems that the latter has found favor in his eyes. Against all expectations, Riolo completely revised his judgment on the young talent of theOlympique Lyonnais (21 years old), in great shape in recent weeks.

“It is in a phase of mutation, of change”

“When I see OL, I see Cherki and I enjoy it, launched Riolo in After Foot. I want to like this player. Seven or eight times out of ten, he does what needs to be done, the balls go through him, he makes the right choice, in the right timing. His face has changed. It is much brighter. It is in a phase of mutation, of change.”

I want to believe that Lyon coach Pierre Sage is doing him good. He is put in good conditions, his teammates seem to have confidence in him. I’m happy with what I see. I don’t want to miss an OL match anymore. Now, I’m even a little excited. He was really good there“, concluded the After Foot columnist, a few days after a match in Reims where Cherki, scorer, burst the screen (1-1). The Olympic vice-champion will still have the opportunity to shine this Thursday evening, against Karabagh (6:45 p.m.).
