“Bang, bang, Aubameyang”. An admirer of Ronaldo Nazario, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang must have carefully scrutinized the videos of the Brazilian because, like his idol, he is not usually forgiving in front of goal. Since he arrived at Barça, the Gabonese who speaks five languages has fired ten times. Four of them have gone on goal and three have been a goal. A 75% effectiveness that players from another sport would sign… After two moments of ‘warming up’ against Espanyol and Atlético, in which he showed that his disagreement with Arteta and his disconnection at Arsenal had cost him the point of form, his appearances in Valencia and Naples have been impressive.
Three goals (four if the rebound in Pedri’s shot is allowed) that also speak of his qualities as a striker. The first from Valencia, running in the open field and with a control and a killer shot. Of those that are worth money. The 0-3 to Gavi’s pass, of opportunism. And the 1-4 in Naples, in a shot only available to players who have the goal in their heads and who are able to find a reference out of nowhere and define with a sweet touch.
