After making his beginnings with Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang confided in what constitutes a return to the English Premier League. He has difficulty playing with his mask and his facial injury.
The Gabonese joined the Blues from Barcelona, after spending six months in Catalonia. Auba landed in London, a city he knows very well having been an Arsenal player between 2018 and 2022. At Stamford Bridge the 33-year-old striker reunited with his former Borussia Dortmund coach, Thomas Tuchel.
Under the German, Aubameyang played just one game as his coach was sacked in favor of Graham Potter. “He’s a really positive person. He’s a great character. We will try to learn with him, and win as quickly as possible. It will be easy to adapt. His ideas are very clear. »he told Chelseafc.cabout about Potter.
“It’s been a weird few weeks for all of us, I think, not just me. It’s part of life. Everyone knows the relationship I had with Thomas. It’s sad when someone leaves a club, but that’s football. You have to adapt quickly to different times of a season. It’s a bit sad, but I hope better days are coming. When you play for Chelsea you need results as soon as possible. »continued Auba.
The player wears a mask. He suffered a facial injury in a gruesome attack at his home towards the end of his time at Barcelona. “I need more time. I’m not 100% fit yet. It’s not easy playing with a mask and with an injury, but I hope I’ll be 100% as soon as possible. »said the former Gunners star.
