JAKARTA - The player from Gabon, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has again shown his sharpness at Barcelona. What is the secret behind the revival of the former Borussia Dortmund player?
Aubameyang has been outstanding since joining Barcelona in the middle of the season. In the five matches he played with La Blaugrana, the 32-year-old has scored five goals.
While in the last season and a half with Arsenal, Aubameyang has only scored 14 league goals!
Former Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand, saw a stark difference in Aubameyang. He said the 2018/2019 Premier League Golden Boot winner looked happier at Camp Nou.
"I just feel he looks happier. I saw him at Arsenal the last few months not happy, and people underestimate how important your happiness as a football player or any other job you can get," Ferdinand said on his YouTube account, as reported by HITC.
The man who was once a mainstay of the England national team added that Aubameyang did not get happiness and comfort at Arsenal. Implicitly, Ferdinand assessed that the decline in Aubameyang's performance could not be separated from the figure of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's manager.
"Aubameyang has regained the love, he's got the attention and trust again from a manager who really wants him there and appreciates his ability," said Ferdinand.
Aubameyang's departure to Barcelona is regrettable for several parties. In fact, reportedly, the Gunners players are not willing if their former captain left London.
However, Aubameyang's decision to move to another club was unanimous. It seems that this decision is now the right choice for Aubameyang.
