As the end of the last summer transfer window approached, PSG managed to convince Bradley Barcola to join Luis Enrique’s team. Recruited for €50 million, the former OL winger gradually climbed the Parisian coach’s hierarchy. According to Laurent Blanc’s former deputy in Lyon, the Frenchman’s explosion is anything but a coincidence.
The PSG has carried out a real revolution in terms of its workforce. After many years of stacking stars, the capital club wanted to opt for the bet of youth, but also that of the state of mind on the field. Furthermore, the PSG has clearly developed an appetite for young players with high potential, but has also targeted French players. Revealed last season at l’OL, Bradley Barcola met all of these criteria. Thus, the PSG did not hesitate to drop €50M this summer to recruit the now 21-year-old winger.
“In the end it’s him who finishes in front of the others”
After a beginning marked by a phase of adaptation to the game of Luis Enrique, Bradley Barcola now seems fulfilled at PSG. Regularly in the starting eleven, the former Lyon player benefits from the confidence of the Spanish coach. In comments collected by Le Parisien, the former assistant coach of l’OL, Claudio Caçapaspoke about the progress of Bradley Barcola : “He was never the priority but in the end he is the one who finishes ahead of the others. He’s not just someone who works more than the others, he’s a player who likes it,” confided the former assistant to Laurent Blanc within the Rhone club.
“I’ve never seen him moan.”
“It doesn’t matter if you ask him to repeat the efforts, he will do it,” continues Claudio Caçapa about Bradley Barcola. “I worked with him for two seasons and I never saw him complain. I never heard him say to me: I’m not going to do this exercise, or why I’m playing left back, or why I’m outside the group.
