Daniel Riolo is not convinced by the choice of OM to bet on Vitinha, to strengthen his offensive sector. The journalist claims to have had negative feedback on the Portuguese striker.
Arrived during the winter transfer window for 30 million euros, Vitinha has so far only accumulated 89 minutes on French lawns. The striker delivered a decisive pass in the Coupe de France, but has not yet managed to be decisive in the Championship. Some observers already find material to draw a balance sheet from the transfer of the Portuguese. Daniel Riolo is particularly skeptical about the amount paid by OM.
“The banana is expensive, in my opinion there has been some crunching”
On the waves of RMC Sports, the journalist expressed his doubts regarding the striker. According to him, the Marseille leaders would have been had: “He will have to believe and have confidence in his replacements. Because there, we see clearly, when we talk to him about Ounahi, Vitinha… Ounahi, I don’t really have any doubts about the quality of the player. I really think he’s a good player. Vitinha, frankly the echoes I have is that they caught a banana on the case. It is expensive the banana, in my opinion there was crunching. In the middle, of all the scouts, agents who had seen it before, there is not one to say that it was that price and that it was worth it. When so many people tell you something… Me, I didn’t know him, I have to find out. I find it amazing”said Riolo.
During his long interview with The Team, Igor Tudor discussed the situation of his new striker. The Croatian technician has announced that he will soon field Vitinha in the role of striker, with Alexis Sanchez a little behind. A system that could appeal to supporters, while some regretted that the two elements were not aligned together.
