He went through all the emotions, as if to illustrate, for one evening, this emotional elevator which torments a center forward, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will remain a major player in this
OMif his team grabs the top 24 at the end of winter.
There was certainly frustration, in the first half, over his wasted opportunities. Rather comfortable in his deliveries and his pivotal play, the Gabonese striker had real spots to shake the nets, but he lacked success, promptness, and even luck, sometimes (18th, 19th, 37th).
And suddenly, everything lit up when we returned from the locker room. First on a ball from Minot Bakola in depth, like in the good old days, with a vertical run before straightening the leather in the empty goal despite an impossible angle (46th). Then in a completely different register, like a surface fox, on a cross from the tireless Weah (50th).
Aubameyang, the veteran is still hungry
Two flashes in three minutes flat for a scorer who is still hungry, despite his 36 years and his recent visit to Saudi Arabia. We expected the talent of Mason Greenwood or the flashes of Igor Paixão, but it was the veteran of the Marseille attack who turned the light back on.
By bringing back their goleador last summer, Marseille attracted a striker who now has 53 European Cup goals over his entire career. It is an invaluable stamp. Back on track, OM must finish the work and continue to dream. His scorer had a funny match. The course of the Marseillais in this first round could resemble it.
