After many seasons, Barca have finally won again against Real Madrid, which is not only a morale boost for Barca, but most importantly, they are getting closer and closer to retaining their Champions League qualification! This is the greatest consolation for a team caught in financial difficulties!
There are many heroes who helped Barcelona Real Madrid, the most eye-catching of which is undoubtedly Aubameyang, who scored two goals and assisted once, and in the 71st minute of his appearance, he used flexible running positions and superb shooting skills to make Real Madrid defenders suffer!
But just two months ago, Aubameyang was in a dilemma with no ball to play at Arsenal, and soon after arriving at Barca, how did Aubameyang quickly become Barca's top scorer? What is the difference between him at Barcelona and Arsenal? Next, Chat Ball Jun will use the data to take you to analyze a wave, why Aubameyang is reused by Harvey in Barcelona!
Aubameyang scored seven goals in seven games
Xavi's ideal striker, Barca's temporary replacement!
1. Aubameyang joined Barca in his past life
In December 2021, Aubameyang was not only banned from the Arsenal team for consecutive disciplinary violations, but also stripped of the captain's armband because someone found out that Aubameyang had taken leave to see his mother and picked up his mother to London.
Arsenal's time limit is that they must rush back to the team before Wednesday night and then test negative, because the Premier League management at that time was still very strict, and Arsenal had more injuries and more players infected with the new crown.
But Aubameyang thought he could catch up with the training when he returned to the team on Thursday, but due to regulations, he could not participate in the day's training and missed the next game! It's important to note that this isn't the first time Aubameyang has violated discipline: in March 2021, Aubameyang was late for the London Derby game and had Arteta kick him out of the starting line-up temporarily.
Arteta wanted to rule with an iron fist
When Aubameyang violated the rules of the team for the second time, Arteta could not hold back, nor could the younger Krenk, a team's top salary team + captain, could not let Aubameyang comply with the rules, Arsenal chose to purge him out.
The team is suspended indefinitely, only for the winter window.
According to TA's recent revelations, Arsenal pushed Aubameyang to five teams, including Riyadh Crescent, which can give Aubameyang a high salary, but Aubameyang wanted to stay in the top clubs in Europe, and finally Barca chose to sign him, which led to a new marriage.
2. In Barcelona and Arsenal, what have changed in Aubameyang's data?
Due to his age, Aubameyang's physical fitness has declined significantly, which is contrary to Arteta's youthfulness and running flow.
However, for Barca, who can still create opportunities in La Liga, far ahead, they lack a super goalscorer who can continue to bring goals after sending Messi away.
Barca have more chances to score goals than Real Madrid
Such a distinction dooms Aubameyang to be at Barca and to be completely different from at Arsenal, because Arsenal's ability to create opportunities is far lower than that of Barca in the trough.
Aubameyang first got a higher shooting chance than in arsenal at Barca, averaging 2.7 shots per game, 0.7 times higher than in Arsenal, in addition, Aubameyang's shooting accuracy and opportunity grasping ability at Barca are much higher than in Arsenal.
Averaging 1.7 shots per game, 56% chance-taking ability per game, and 32% goal scoring percentage, this is Aubameyang's statistics at Barca.
Averaging 0.8 shots on target per game, 46% chance-taking ability per game and 18% goal scoring percentage, this is Aubameyang's arsenal stats.
It can be said that compared to the Arsenal period, Aubameyang's shooting data has risen sharply, but other data have dropped significantly.
At Arsenal, for example, Aubameyang was still able to regain the ball on average 2.2 times per game, but at Barca he dropped that number to 1.3 times, and under Arsenal, Aubameyang averaged 21.5 passes per game, compared to 17 after coming to Barca.
Harvey is well aware of what his team needs
Xavi chose Aubameyang just to convert his shots, and Aubameyang will even play a little easier than at Arsenal.
And as Aubameyang integrates into Barca, his shooting statistics will continue to improve, because Barca has such an ability.
3. At Arsenal and Barcelona, what are the changes in Aubameyang's position on the pitch?
First, let's take a look at the control arsenal and Barcelona have over their respective teams.
Barca is the most controlled team in La Liga, averaging 65.1% of the ball per game, and most teams will play very passively against Barca, which can be determined that Aubameyang's position at Barca is bound to be higher.
Arsenal under Arteta's coaching, gradually abandoned many of the once required possession of the ball, currently their average possession rate is only 51.7%, ranking 7th in the Premier League, usually Arsenal and most of the teams are attacking and defending each other.
Aubameyang is in the hot zone of Barcelona
The above figure basically verifies our previous conjecture, and the red color in the center of Aubameyang's penalty area is more conspicuous.
When Barca retreat, Aubameyang will also come to the middle circle, waiting for opportunities to find opportunities to counter-attack, but it is undeniable that Aubameyang's goals through speed advantage and counter-attack in recent years are decreasing.
Aubameyang is in arsenal's hot zone
By comparison, it is clear that Aubameyang is closer to the penalty area when he is at Barca and biased towards the edge of the penalty area at Arsenal.
Position on the field of play does affect the player's shooting accuracy and shooting accuracy, and Aubameyang's excellent performance at Barca is closely related to Barca's needs for him.
Aubameyang's Premier League attempts this season have seen a total of 35 shots on goal, eight of which were from outside the box, accounting for 23 per cent of the total number of shots on goal.
After coming to Barca, Aubameyang tried 20 shots on goal in La Liga, only two of which were from outside the box, accounting for 11% of the total number of shots on goal.
Through these comparisons, I believe that you should intuitively determine why Aubameyang came to Barca, welcomed the second spring, broke out everywhere, and became the main contributor to the defeat of Real Madrid!
Conclusion: Aubameyang is as good as a thousand, and Barça Harvey needs to be cautious
For Barca, Aubameyang is really strong now, but if you consider his 32-year-old age and contract that expires in 2025, how the deal will eventually go is still unknown.
But as far as he is concerned about helping Barca win against Real Madrid, it is already half earned, Barça is now facing many difficulties, this big win can not only boost the morale of the team, but more importantly, let the outside world see the change of Barca, which is also very important for Laporta and Xavi!
Harvey is bringing Barca back to life
At the same time, Barca and Xavi also need to pay attention to the fact that Aubameyang has a disciplinary record at Arsenal, and how to guide him is the top priority.
At the same time, the Gabonese striker also has some disgraceful previous crimes, such as the trouble of sucking the xiaoqi, and arsenal's expulsion may not be without the intention of not wanting him to bring bad young people.
Chatball Jun believes that As the person who once led Barca to the top, Xavi is the "big parent" of Barca players, they should be able to solve these problems, at least for now, Aubameyang is just a barca rookie.
