But what’s going on with Bradley Barcola? Impactful and effective at the start of the season, the French international has encountered difficulties for several matches and is struggling to be decisive.
On the substitutes’ bench during the 32nd final against Racing Club de Lens, the Parisian winger did not make a good comeback in the second period despite his penalty scored during the penalty shootout.
The former Lyon player seems to be lacking in confidence, or even perhaps blunted by this great and long year 2024. In his last 8 competitive matches, the red and blue number 29 was not decisive with a total of 0 goals and 0 assists. Or his worst series since he arrived in the Parisian capital in the summer of 2023.
Rebound expected at the start of 2025?
What if Bradley Barcola was simply in physical difficulty? It’s a possibility. The new player of the France team has moved into another dimension for several months. However, the 22-year-old can count on the support of his trainer Luis Enrique despite his decline in form.
“I’m very happy with Bradley (Barcola). For you, he was like Maradona at the start of the season, and now you don’t like him. It doesn’t work like that. I’m happy with him. I want him to continue to improve. All players can have ups and downs, what matters is achieving the team’s goals. I am very happy with the whole team, regardless of the goals,” he said at a press conference in front of journalists.
