"Barcola has 7 goals and 4 assists with the CV first team this season."
Barca's Aubameyang Influence
Barcola admitted in a flashback interview that he modeled his play on Chelsea striker Aubameyang.

The German is a big fan of the striker, as he detailed in a press conference in 2018.
Regarding Aubameyang, Klopp said via Mirror:
“Yes, the biggest threat:
speed and threat of goal. Unbelievable. “He is one of the best counter-attacking players you can find on the planet because his running time and finishing record is really outstanding in situations like this.
“When we found him at Saint-Etienne, he played more on the wing and he also played more for me at Dortmund because for us it was not clear how he could keep the ball. in front of. opponents, things like that.
“But then he did it too well. He can play in both positions, from the wing or as a striker alone or with another striker.
"Honestly, that makes him a very good player. He's a really nice guy with different tastes in gear and things like that. Working with him is always a real pleasure. »
