Considered one of the best players in the French championship since the start of the season, Bradley Barcola has clearly reached a milestone in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey. Anything but a coincidence.
In Paris, Bradley Barcola took a little time to digest his huge transfer of 45 million euros from Olympique Lyonnais. But more than a year after signing for PSG with the status of great L1 hope, the French international changed planets this season. Since the departure of Kylian Mbappé, Barcola seems liberated. Which translates into impressive statistics, with eight goals and two assists in all competitions. But then, how did Barcola go from rock bottom after the Champions League match against Newcastle at the start of last season to its status as top scorer in L1? With constant questioning, but also a lot of work, as the main person admits.
“An icon? I don't think about it »
“The new icon of PSG after the departure of Mbappé? Frankly, I don't know. 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. I was convinced that it was the right choice to sign here, but I didn't know that it would provoke. When I approached the season, I really put it in my head that I had to be a scorer, more decisive. It's mostly a question of mentality. I worked a lot on the finish. This is what I was missing last year. The coach was the first to blame me for it. If I joined him, he was sure that I was going to be a very, very good player.said, in the columns of Le Parisien, Barcola, who is in the process of silencing all criticism, notably those of Daniel Riolo, thanks to the help of Luis Enrique. Certainly the good news from PSG which does not regret having given the keys to its attack to its young winger, even if he still remains a little tender in big matches.
