OM: De Zerbi bows down to Aubameyang | OneFootball

Aubameyang

Decisive against Le Havre this Saturday, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang received a heartfelt tribute from his coach, Roberto De Zerbi.

Without finding the net, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang delivered a strong performance against Le Havre (6-2) on Saturday in Ligue 1. The Gabonese international provided a crucial assist for Robinio Vaz. The former Arsenal striker also won a penalty and provoked the sending off of Gautier Lloris, then linked up brilliantly with Benjamin Pavard for Mason Greenwood’s fourth goal. After such a stellar display, Roberto De Zerbi admitted he was blown away by the impact of his player.

"He’s a true champion, a unique player. I’m discovering he’s even better than I imagined without having coached him before. I thought he was only a great goal-scorer, but in reality, he’s a complete player—intelligent, willing to work for the team. He can deliver assists and speed up the game. Physically, he’s very strong. He’s a champion." the Italian manager said at the press conference.
