"I´ve been welcomed very warmly. Everyone´s very, very attentive, and I feel like at home," said the 24-year-old who´s has already shown his potential in the pre-season friendlies, scoring one goal against Bursaspor and hitting the post against Basel.
In his short time at BVB, Aubameyang has already discovered that he has to change his game. "Our coach puts a great deal of importance on counter pressing and winning the ball back to start new attacks," he explained in Italian, translated by youth coach and interpreter Massimo Marietti. That he hasn´t found his position in BVB´s midfield yet is not a problem for him. Aubameyang said: "At St Etienne I learned to play in all positions. My coach told me, ´You are going to need it if you want to play at a big club´."
And according to Aubameyang, he´s now playing at a big club. "I was hooked straight away. It was an easy decision for me as Borussia Dortmund are a very, very big club. Playing here will help me become a great player."
At the training camp in Bad Ragaz he´s sharing a room with Ilkay Gündogan. "I would take him as a roommate again," said the Gabon international, adding: "Illie speaks some French and he helps me a lot. I try to pick up the easy German words wherever I can." He was also given a special dictionary to communicate with his team-mates. The on-field communication is good already, Aubameyang explained: "It´s not hard to understand world-class players. You don´t need to play with each other for years."
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may seem a bit extroverted, but only on the outside. "I like to dress a bit differently, but I´m actually a very shy person, even if I don´t I don´t look like it."
