Physical Coach: I feel that Aubameyang is getting more and more powerful as he gets older. He is experienced and has extremely high goals efficiency.

A few days ago, Jeddah United Fitness Coach Nicholas Girard talked about Aubameyang who returned to Marseille. The two had worked together briefly in Marseille in 2024.

You have watched Aubameyang, who played in Saudi Arabia, who played for Caticia last season. How did he perform?

"He performed very, very, very well. Last summer, he joined Caticia under former Marseille coach Michel. His team played 3-5-2 formation, and he and Julian Giniones were paired with two forwards. The two were very complementary and efficient, and they kept hitting the space. And he, despite his age, still often used deep space. I feel that he is getting older and more powerful, and he can score goals as he gets. In the penalty area, he becomes as accurate as he is in Marseille, even though he was in Marseille (he scored 17 goals in 32 games in the Saudi League). And he still maintains his leadership temperament, just like he did in Marseille, he led the team to a good record of fourth place in the league."

Are you surprised that Aubameyang returned to Marseille after leaving for only one year?

"He really likes this club. When he left, he was certainly attracted by Cadicia's generous offer, but I think he was also worried about the unstable situation in Marseille. I feel that the situation is more stable now. There are other experienced big-name players in the team's lineup, and the coach (Dzelby) is also coaching for his second season. And this club is very suitable for him."

What role can Aubameyang, who just celebrated his 36th birthday, play in Marseille?

"He is an athlete, there is no doubt about this. He is a person who pays great attention to self-discipline in life and remains very keen. In training, he can drive others and let the entire team move forward with him. He is a very good player and a real good person. The uncertainty that needs to be managed is the intensive schedule, because every three days the 36- and 20-year-olds are different. I don't know what the coaching staff plan for him, how he's the pick at the forward position, but he is a very professional top player, experienced and extremely efficient in scoring."
