When comparing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Alexis Sanchez, Eric Di Meco was not kind to the Gabonese international.
Despite his promising statistics (18 goals and 8 assists in 23 matches), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is struggling to forget Alexis Sanchez, the former scorer for Olympique de Marseille.
This is particularly the opinion of Eric Di Meco, former Marseille player and consultant for RMC. The former Ciel et Blanc left-back considers that the Chilean striker had a greater impact on the Marseille team, even if he scored fewer goals.
“Alexis, he was all alone”
“We are comparing a player who has been enormous in the results, the rise in power and the state of mind of the team, with another (Aubameyang, editor’s note) who, yes, is in the process of putting goals,” said the 1993 Champions League winner.
“He might finish at 30, but he had a disastrous first 6 months. Because it took him a little longer to adapt, because the team is less good, I don’t know,” he added.
And added: “There are 2 goals scored against teams ahead of OM in the standings, in 8 of the 14 possible matches… Alexis was all alone last year. And he made the crosses, the passes, the tackles to recover, the shifts, the calls… But that is not counted in the stats,” regretted the Avignonnais.
