On the set of As long as there are Gonesthe consultant has indeed given his opinion on Bradley Barcola, who has become a starter for lack of anything better at OL. “Two months ago, I was asked if Barcola could start, I told you clearly no. Today when he is not in the eleven, I tell myself that it is not normal. He established himself by his freshness, by what he brings to the depths, by his speed and his youth. I have the impression that this team can’t do without Bradley Barcola and yet he’s not the best player in the world… As much as he takes advantage of it like he used to, like Job, Kanouté or others to toughen up. He has the possibility of being able to express himself. If it had been before, he wouldn’t have been able to.”, indicated in particular Nicolas Puydebois, who knows that Barcola will be able to surf on this dynamic to progress and show itself at the highest level. In any case, Laurent Blanc trusts him. Now it’s up to him to return the favor.
