Paris Saint-Germain striker Bradley Barcola (22 years old) distinguished himself last season by becoming the Parisian player to have committed the most fouls in Ligue 1 (30 fouls). This statistic, revealed by Paris Stats Germain, reveals a new side of the young player, reflecting the evolution of the role of Parisian strikers under the management of Luis Enrique.
“Fun stat of the day: the Parisian who committed the most fouls last season in Ligue 1 is Barcola (30 fouls)
A sign of the defensive efforts of the Parisian forwards, he is ahead of Doué (28).”
In this team, there is no logic except that all players must do all the tasks. The attackers must defend and the defenders must help offensively. Seeing Barcola as the most “offending” player makes sense. He gave a lot in his defensive retreats and above all he was in every match this season. Doué, second, follows the same logic. We can also note that players like Marquinhos, Pacho or Vitinha are often clean in their interventions.
