In a recent interview with Ligue 1+, Pierre-Emérik Aubameyang discussed the possibility of an offensive collaboration with Amine Gouiri at the Olympique de Marseille. The Gabonese attacker paved the way for tactical adjustments in attack, while stressing his preference for a more central role. He affirmed his willingness to make sacrifices, he or Gouiri, to adapt to a role on the sides, while reaffirming his comfort in an axial role. Aubameyang also praised Gouiri’s technical qualities and game vision, comparing him to an Alexandre Lacazette at Arsenal, and hopes for a synergy beneficial to OM. This statement reflects his desire to find the necessary alchemy within the Marseille attack, even if he favours a leading position.

Aubameyang stressed the potential complementarity between the two attackers, stressing that their different styles could enrich each other. In particular, he highlighted Gouiri’s ability to evolve to several positions, which would offer a wider offensive palette to Roberto De Zerbi’s team. The combination of Aubameyang’s central efficiency and Gouiri’s versatility could be a formidable weapon. The next matches will confirm the viability of this association, much expected by Marseille fans.

In parallel to this discussion of the attack, the postponement of the OM-PSG match has generated much debate. Despite the controversies, it is recalled that the decision to postpone the game to Monday was justified by dangerous weather conditions and road safety concerns. The central argument of the debate is the respect of Marseille supporters, who have invested time and money to attend this important meeting. OM legitimately believes that the proposed schedule does not take into account their central role in organizing the event, especially considering that the Ballon d’Or ceremony takes place shortly after the end of the game.
