Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his father are very close.

In an interview with Progrès, the Lyon newspaper, the patriarch (Pierre Aubameyang) is full of praise for his son. The striker of Saint-Etienne in great shape this season should be red.

“Christophe Galtier perceived the qualities of the boy, while relying on the dad. I say a big thank you for including this very quickly. His progress was made slowly, as his career. He does not flash in the pan. Pierre-Emerick crosses the bearings in the right timing. When he arrived, he did not immediately mark the spirits. But Galtier already knew that. He was the detonator, he detonated the bomb! There were some doubts at the club but now everyone is at attention. Even when he scored 16 goals last season, I felt that there were still two or three people who doubted his ability to repeat this performance. These people will learn that he crossed the bearings without leapfrogging “.

“This is a player who will go very high. How far? I do not know but he can become very good. As he has the joy of playing, he will have a margin for improvement and take another dimension. I encourage him to go in that direction while respecting his work. Do not overlook everything he has done since he was in Saint-Etienne. The future of my son did not fit in Saint-Etienne. I will be blunt, everyone knows: presidents, coaches, teammates and fans. Nobody is fooled. In this club, the mind is healthy, it must be emphasized. “

Like his father, the president of Saint-Etienne loves his player.
