As the 29th day of the French Ligue 1 championship approaches, a high-stakes clash is set between AS Saint-Etienne and PSG, featuring two of the top scorers in the league, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
In an interview on RMC, Aubameyang emphasized that he doesn’t want to reduce this match to a “duel” between himself and Ibrahimovic. He stated, “The duel is the match. Even if he is at the top of the scorers’ rankings and I am second, I look more at the points that are up for grabs.”
Aubameyang went on to highlight the differences in their playing styles, acknowledging Ibrahimovic’s imposing physical presence and fixing point capabilities, contrasting it with his own more slender and finesse-oriented approach. He also acknowledged Ibrahimovic’s technical strengths and pointed out that, unlike the Swedish star, he still has everything to prove.
This perspective from Aubameyang reflects a focus on the team’s performance and the importance of the match itself, rather than a personal competition between individual players. It adds an intriguing layer to the upcoming clash, with both players eager to contribute to their respective teams’ success in securing valuable points.
