Following his team’s defeat against Olympique Lyonnais, the Gabonese striker seemed completely stunned.
Sunday evening, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started the Olympique de Marseille match against Lyon in the center forward position. The Gabonese striker, almost invisible, completely missed his match.
After his team’s defeat (1-0), the former Arsenal player appeared disappointed. “A lot of disappointments tonight. I think not everything was bad. We lacked determination in both areas, especially up front. I think we need to do more, whether in the last pass or in the last gesture. We fished this evening, so a lot of disappointments”he reacted to the microphone of Prime Video.
“We lacked verticality”
Aubameyang then tried to give explanations for this defeat for OM. “If I take the first half for example, I think we lacked verticality, playing behind them, attacking this defense or even on the sides simply by dribbling. I think that’s what was sorely lacking in the first half and at the start of the second, in particular too. And then at the end, it was a little better but it wasn’t enough”regrets the native of Laval.
Last summer, the 34-year-old striker signed a contract with the Marseille club until June 2026. Since his arrival in the South of France, he has scored 14 goals in 29 matches in all competitions.
