This competition is a chance for young players to get a chance and show their talent. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signed a new three-year contract, which is very important for the visitors as he scored 22 goals in the Premier League last season. It is a pleasure to watch this guy who uses every opportunity and creates problems for the opponent’s defense.
