Marseille’s head coach Roberto De Zerbi commented on forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s contribution in the main round match of the Champions League against Newcastle (2:1). The Gabonese scored two goals, helping the Provençals secure a comeback victory.

«Apart from the first ten minutes when we seemed to be in the clouds, we had a good match. We had a lot of chances. We hardly suffered and played well. I am satisfied, satisfied with the players — Bakola, Vermeren, Weah, Rulli... They had a good match.

I saw him in good shape in the first half. He doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. His only flaw is that he’s 37 years old. I hope he can play for another 10 years because he truly is a great champion,» De Zerbi told RMC Sport.

Ukrainian defender Illya Zabarnyi may leave the Paris club next summer, reports Foot-sur7.fr.

According to the source, the PSG coaching staff is concerned about Zabarnyi’s unconvincing game in the first half of this season.

At the same time, it is also reported that Zabarnyi is unlikely to leave PSG this winter. The player will be given time to acclimate and improve his game until the end of this season. If the Ukrainian does not show progress, the option of transferring to another club next summer is not excluded.

Let us recall, PSG acquired Zabarnyi from Bournemouth for 66 million euros last summer.

«Football hasn’t ended for me. I worked hard, waited more than two years to return to the field. It finally happened. I was deeply moved when the crowd stood and applauded me. Honestly, I didn’t expect this. A huge thank you to all the fans for their support,» Pogba was quoted by ESPN as saying.

PSG head coach Luis Enrique summed up the French Championship match against Le Havre (3:0) and his staffing decisions.

«Every match is different, you need to watch each game to correctly assess a player’s performance. We are calm. I have no doubts about Lucas, just as I have no doubts about Zabarnyi and Renato Marini.

We know that playing in a club like PSG is difficult. There’s always a lot of noise, and you have to learn to live with that. Nuno Mendes? It’s always great news when we bring a player back. He played 90 minutes, feels good, and is ready for the next match against Tottenham.

Regaining the lead is important. As always. There are teams like Marseille and Lens who are doing well, so it’s important for us to win and stay at the top. There are tough matches ahead in all tournaments, and it’s important to start this series with a win.» quoted Enrique, PSG’s website.
