The FC Barcelona closed the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a few hours after the winter market closed its doors. The attacker made life in the Premier League in the ranks of the Arsenal for four years, where he won the captaincy and was one of the most emblematic players of the institution. Now, Martin Odegaard, one of his former teammates, spoke about his departure.
At 23 years old, the Norwegian has established himself in the ‘Gunner’ midfield and took the opportunity to talk about the team’s lack of goals since his departure. “It’s sad when players leave the club. However, I think it’s the team’s job to make sure we score goals. It does not depend on one or two players. Everyone must help each other and create opportunities”, clarified the former Real Madrid, who believes that the squad has the necessary qualities to score in each game and not that everything should fall on the shoulders of one player.
However, he left aside all Gabonese and focused on the present of the institution. “We have to focus on the players who are here and improve. We are a strong group and an interesting team. We have to exploit our qualities”, added the Nordic, making it clear that what happened with ‘Auba’ should not affect the performance of the entire group.
forcefulness problems
Mikel Arteta’s team has plummeted in recent weeks and his lack of goalscoring is the biggest problem. The London team knows they need to sign in the next transfer window, since in addition to Aubameyang, Frenchman Alexandre Lacazzete could leave for Ligue 1 once his contract ends in the summer. Added to this, Eddie Nketiah does not convince the Spanish coach and despite the fact that he knew the situation of the club, he decided not to make any moves in January.
For its part, Barça has incorporated several pieces in attack that have revolutionized the offense in recent games. Although Pierre-Emerick has not stood out, he will gradually return to his best level. It is important to highlight that Arteta did not trust him and had left him in the background. Now, his situation has taken a 180 degree turn and it is a matter of time before he begins to ‘warm up engines’ and become important
