Aubameyang: My aim is to reach Messi, Ronaldo level
BORUSSIA Dortmund’s in-form attacker Pierre-
Emeric Aubameyang has set his sights high,
saying he would like to reach the level of
superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Gabon international has been in
sensational form so far in 2015-16,
smashing 13 goals in 11 Bundesliga
appearances and 20 in all competitions
to lead the European scoring charts.
The Golden Shoe award, which honours
such an achievement, has often been the
property of either the Barcelona or Real
Madrid hitmen over recent years, and
Aubameyang singled the pair out as role
models.
“It is something I really want to achieve.
To be the greatest, Ronaldo and Messi
can score three in one game and four the
next day,” he told Telefoot.
“I have already experienced one stage
with (Jurgen) Klopp, but I am trying to
have a new one with (Thomas) Tuchel
back in the middle.”
The development of the former St.
Etienne man in Germany has surprised
many observers.
But the striker admitted that he would
have to adapt once opponents realised
how dangerous he could be.
“Of course defenders will start asking
more questions of you. All those who
thought Aubameyang was only about
running or athletic ability were wrong,”
he fired.
“I was born for this, and ever since
childhood I have set myself goals.”
