‘He incarnates the present and the future’ – PSG manager Luis Enrique praises Bradley Barcola | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique was full of praise for Bradley Barcola (21), who scored his first goal for Les Parisiens in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over FC Nantes.

Barcola has struggled since his big-money move from formative club Olympique Lyonnais in the summer, however, he started against Les Canaris and took his chance. The France U21 international profited from some good work from Kylian Mbappé before finishing past Alban Lafont from a tight angle.

Whilst Luis Enrique described Barcola as a “bet” he believes that the winger can have a considerable impact in the present and the future.

“It is a clear bet from the club when we go out and find such a young player, a youth international, with a big personality and the quality to burst out. He has quite a few minutes for being in a team like ours. He incarnates the present and the future. On Saturday evening, he was superb, the most decisive player in one-on-one situations and he scored an exceptional goal too. He had a great match; there is nothing new regarding Bradley. I am very happy for him,” said Luis Enrique in a post-match press conference, attended by Get French Football News.
