“I’ll wait a little longer”
Some believe that Bradley Barcola is the new leader of the Parisian attack. The player of PSG receives a lot of compliments and inevitably, expectations are increasing. Marcel Desailly calls in particular for more involvement in the creation of the game.
“I want Barcola to be much more useful to the collective”
« The stats speak for him but I find that he is not yet present enough in the offensive animation. He only gets going when the ball comes to his feet. I'm waiting a little more. When we take the example of Lamine Yamal, we feel that it is still a little below but there is enormous potential. I want Barcola to be much more useful to the collective. Watch him when the team is turning the ball, he is stationary, he is not looking for the ball », Declared the 98 world champion on the microphone of beIN SPORTS SATURDAY. The message got through.
