Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reveals best position ahead of Arsenal vs Man City cracker

- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang prefers leading Arsenal attack with Alexandre Lacazette

- The Gabonese star Aubameyang and Frenchman Alexandre Lacazette have struck up a good partnership at Arsnal

- Aubameyang netted his 15th league goal of the campaign against Cardiff City

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed he prefers playing alongside another striker - Alexandre Lacazette in Arsenal’s attack line rather than playing upfront alone.

According to UK Metro citing Sky Sports, Gunners boss Unai Emery has tried the pair of Aubameyang and Lacazette in various tactical formation, and has even played one of them in the wing using 4-2-3-1 formation at the start of the campaign.

However, Aubameyang, who is currently Arsenal’s first-choice forward under Emery insists he will be ready to play any role the Spaniard assigns him.

“My favourite role is playing striker, in front. I also like playing on the wing, but I think my best position is striker.

“I like to play with two up front, it’s nice because you can do some combinations with the other strikers. If the coach needs me on the right or on the left, it doesn’t matter, I go and I fight for the team, it’s no problem,” the Gabonese star stressed.

Interestingly, during Aubameyang’s stay at France, he faced Lacazette on the pitch at number of times while he was still at Lyon but no love was lost.

“We were rivals before in France, I was not expecting for him to be my friend, but today is different," he said.

“At first when I came here, he gave me a lot of confidence, because we spoke straight.

"We have the same vision about football, which is a good point between us, and that’s the point that started this friendship.

“When one comes to the ball, the other goes deep. It’s about filling in. You lift your head up and see he is going into space, it’s about feeling as well. If we have to give the ball to a guy in better space, you have to give him the ball. That’s what happens between us,” he said.

At the last count, Aubameyang is still in contention for the Premier League topscorer award this season after netting 15 goals so far, with his strike partner Lacazette also finding the back of the net scoring 9 times.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang emerged the fastest Arsenal player to score 25 Premier League goals for the Emirates dwellers. The Gunners claimed a 2-1 over Cardiff on Tuesday night, January 29, with Aubameyang netting the opener from a spot-kick before Frenchman Alexandre Lacazette scored the second.

Interestingly, Aubameyang’s opener from the spot was his 25th Premier League goal in 37 matches, meaning the Gabonese has netted 25 goals from lesser games.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
