Criticized for his debut at Paris Saint-Germain, Bradley Barcola reacted perfectly. The young winger won the favor of coach Luis Enrique with good performances in important meetings. An exemplary mentality inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Knowing the character, we are obviously not safe from a surprise from Luis Enrique. But before the Champions League semi-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, we can think that the Paris Saint-Germain coach will start Bradley Barcola again. The winger who arrived last summer had a difficult start in the capital. Severe criticism accompanied his first months. But the former Lyonnais, with good performances in major events, won the favor of the Spanish coach.
Proof that Bradley Barcola has the right mentality, that inspired by a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. “ The players who made me dream of the Champions League? In this competition, it was Cristiano Ronaldoconfided the Parisian in an interview with the UEFA media. Seeing him score in almost every match, even in the final, carrying his team, it was exceptional every time to see him. It was really my whole childhood. I always liked Ronaldo, seeing him work a lot and score. His mentality, never giving up, is what struck me the most. And that’s what brought me here. »
CR7 the Barcola model
“ I have always worked hard with a good mentality. That’s what I learned from him. Seeing him always surpass himself, every time, it’s really good for us young people when we watch him. It makes you want to work like him and to tell yourself that you can have everything by working. What would I say to him if I were to meet him? I would congratulate him for everything he has accomplished and I would say thank you for giving me so many emotions when I was younger », added Bradley Barcola, who will perhaps have the opportunity to meet the Portuguese at the Euro if coach Didier Deschamps rewards him.
