Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 36-year-old striker, has just signed to return to Olympique de Marseille a year after his departure to Al-Qadsiah. In a press conference, he was asked to discuss OM’s ability to compete with Paris Saint-Germain. It was an opportunity for him to make some strong statements.
“When you want to compete with the best, you aim for the top. You have to give yourself the means to compete with Paris, and the club is currently doing what it takes for that. Getting back to the Champions League at the Vélodrome too, you never know what might happen. I want to go as far as possible, I’ve never gone further than the quarter-finals but we’ll see, especially with this new Champions League format, a lot of things are possible.”
The message is easy to understand. It’s actually quite refreshing, since we prefer to have ambitious opponents. Aubameyang also deserves credit for acknowledging that the Marseille club is having an interesting transfer window. There will certainly be a strong team this season. And the striker had to point it out. It would have been very poorly received at OM if the player had taken a defeatist tone.
Now, it can’t be said that there’s any particular concern on PSG’s side after a particularly successful season as a team. Over the years, we’ve already seen statements predicting fierce competition, but with results that ended up being rather disappointing.
It would indeed be better for the league to be stronger, especially with AS Monaco also showing ambition. Competition can only be a good thing, pushing everyone to improve and making titles all the more meaningful. Even if there might be a few less. It’s up to the Parisians to approach this new year well, as their opponents will be eager to bring them down.
