The former Lyonnais does not intend to become a sort of icon at PSG like Kylian Mbappé could have been a few years ago.
Since his arrival at Paris Saint-Germainduring the summer of 2023, Bradley Barcola changed status. The 22-year-old winger has become a French international and an almost indisputable starter in Luis Enrique's eleven.
With eight goals in ten Ligue 1 matches this season, the former Olympique Lyonnais player currently sits at the top of the French championship scorers' rankings. He is ahead of Marseillais Mason Greenwood and Lille Jonathan David, both authors of seven goals.
Barcola, humility above all
What if he was the new star of the Rouge et Bleu?
“Honestly, I don’t know. responds the person concerned during an interview given to Parisian. I give my all to Paris but being an icon, I don't think about it. I just want to be the best, as consistent as possible. The craze around me? Frankly, I don't pay attention to it. »
Bradley Barcola therefore does not seek to take on a role like Kylian Mbappé could have had before him.
“Whether people talk about me good or bad, I try to do the same things as before, he assures. I train every day, it's not to listen to people say 'you're the best' or 'you're the worst'. Being told that you are the strongest can play on your ego and that doesn't interest me. »
