The Paris FC project, owned by the Arnault family for less than a year, already raises questions.
It was one of the curiosities of this first day of Ligue 1. promoted in the elite of French football, Paris FC began its season Sunday afternoon on the field of Angers. And despite having disputed a large part of the second period in numerical superiority,
The Ile-de-de-France bowed (0-1).
A somewhat disappointing first for the club bought less than a year ago by Antoine Arnault, eldest son of the founder of LVMH, Bernard. It must be said that the PFC already has 4e larger budget of Ligue 1 (130 million euros, according to
The team). But for the moment, the investments made are not sufficient Daniel Riolo, who is already wondering about the project set up.
« For the moment it does not work, for the moment, we are not in the project that has been described. Beyond the transfer window, I ask the question: what is the idea of the PFC, what do they want to do? Objective between 8th and 13th? What I don’t understand is why it should be the PFC’s goal », Déplured confides the editorialist on RMC.
“With this team, you play maintenance”
« Go frankly, the sorrel takes outcontinued Riolo, who would like to see the new owners pass the high speed. In this championship where half of the teams are corpses, you are one of the only clubs that has sorrel, I do not understand, go direct. Sends and will immediately look for between 5th and 7th. You can do it in this weak championship. Saves time, burns stages, sends and go for the players. »»
In other cases, Daniel Riolo fears the worst for the Parisian training project. ” LE PFC does not want to be pigeoned, I understood, he first admitted.
But that doesn’t prevent me from agreeing. If there is a moment to go there and to do it, it is now because 70% of the teams cannot recruit. You have to be ambitious right away, there is a train to take now, send your money. With this team, you play the maintenance. »
Since the opening of the summer transfer window, the PFC has spent just over 40 million euros on four players. Nhoa Sangui (Reims), Moses Simon (Nantes), Otavio (Porto) and the latest, Willem Geubbels (Saint-Gall).
