After episode 1 of the clash between Nicolas Anelka and Daniel Riolo, here's the sequel. Get out the popcorn... Even if the topic has strangely deviated from the initial debate. Indeed, former French international Nicolas Anelka had gently teased the RMC columnist via an Instagram story. He explained to the latter that he had been mistaken in his overall analysis of Paris-Saint Germain since the start of the season.
Daniel Riolo did not appreciate being publicly attacked in this way (Nicolas Anelka's Instagram story was private but some people published it on X). Thus, on X and then in theRMC's After FootOn Wednesday evening, the journalist chose to respond. In a strange way.
« I don't come from a culture where women are locked up, or put in the kitchen." he dares. For your information, Nicolas Anelka is originally from the Antilles, but Daniel Riolo is certainly making a caricatured reference to the former football player's Muslim religion. Nicolas Anelka's wife is absolutely not " locked up " at home, nor " in the kitchen"The attack makes no sense.
« 50 years ago we did this in the region where I come from. (Sicily). But we don't do that anymore today. I don't have to be advised to do this or that. And even less so a French international. He can come and debate that whenever he wants. It's better to look at yourself in the mirror when you attack someone's family members. Especially when you have the notoriety and the place he has in French football. I find that this is despicable behavior. I also address the cat (from the Twitch live). They are complete morons.. I'm not complaining. I only complain if someone in my family touches me. You can say what you want about me. And if people think it's right that a woman should stay at home and be watched over by her husband, I don't know what that mentality is. I don't know where it comes from, or what era we're living in. If people think that in France, it becomes tragic. And I know there are cultural divides in this country. If he represents them, it's super serious.«
A strange parallel drawn by the sports debater. Moreover, on social media, it's a source of incomprehension.
An impressive number of messages making fun of the situation.
