[스포티비뉴스=나용균 영상기자·장하준 기자]The Premier League’s top scorer has been substituted.
Chelsea invited Manchester City to Stamford Bridge on the 6th and lost 0-1. Chelsea, who fell to 10th place in the league with this defeat. We are in a really big crisis.
There were players who felt a sense of crisis as big as Chelsea. The main character is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Aubameyang, who started the match once morest Man City from the bench, was substituted in place of Raheem Sterling, who was injured in the 5th minute of the first half. However, he was substituted out in the 23rd minute of the second half and returned to the bench.
It is not uncommon for a player who has been substituted in a game to be substituted once more. This proves that Aubameyang is in serious slump.
Aubameyang was the joint top scorer in the Premier League just four years ago. However, following a conflict with Arsenal, Aubame Yang resigned his captaincy and left for Barcelona.
After the transfer, Aubameyang seemed to shoot a flare of revival, scoring 11 goals in 17 matches in La Liga. However, he joined Chelsea immediately following being pushed out by newly acquired Robert Lewandowski. And Aubameyang, who has only scored 3 goals in 15 matches for Chelsea this season, can’t show as much as he used to.
Re-substitution in this situation seems to have been a huge shock to Aubameyang.
