Returning to Olympique de Marseille after a season spent in Saudi Arabia at Al-Qadsiah, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was announced as Amine Gouiri's main understudy in attack. And in the absence of the Algerian, injured in the shoulder in the selection during the last international break, the Gabonese seems to be doing well.
After the great success of the Phocéens against Le Havre (6-2) on Saturday in Ligue 1, Aubameyang received praise from his coach, Roberto De Zerbi. “He’s a real champion, a different player. I discovered it even more strongly than I imagined. He has lots of qualities, he's not just a scorer. He can make assists, bring speed, depth, he’s a worker too… He’s a champion”he confided at a press conference.
Towards a change of status at OM
Already a scorer against Strasbourg (2-1) last month, Aubameyang was once again decisive with an offering for Robinho Vaz. He thus brings his tally to 4 goals and 3 assists in 8 matches in all competitions in the Olympian jersey.
These performances could allow the Gabonese to regain the status he occupied before his departure for the Gulf. According to
The Teamthe Panthers star is now even considered to be OM's starting scorer.
