Bradley Barcola has started his new adventure with Liverpool after three seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, but his start in the Premier League has not been exemplary. The French striker, who arrived in the summer, told Téléfoot that the English level is different and that he is still trying to adapt.
Meanwhile, Barcola has already made his mark in the Champions League, scoring his first hat-trick in a 6‑3 win against LASK. The episode was an important turning point, but on the Anfield pitch his first four league appearances have yet to produce goals or assists. “I'm trying to adapt because it's really different to PSG,” he admitted, adding that the team is doing well and that he has met his teammates and the coach with interesting ideas.
The player, born in 2002, highlighted the differences between English and French football under the guidance of Luis Enrique. "The Premier League is less tactical. At PSG we had a very, very tactical manager. Here there are fewer changes during the match; with Luis Enrique I often had to come in, move to the flank and adapt to different situations. In Liverpool everything is different," he explained.
During his three years at PSG Barcola played 152 games, scoring 39 goals and providing 35 assists, demonstrating versatility and importance for the team. Now, at Liverpool, his role seems more defined: to occupy the left lane and exploit speed and quality in one-on-one situations. The task is to demonstrate that they can also contribute in the Premier League, where the tactical structure and defensive pressure are more rigid.
With the season still underway, Barcola will have to consolidate his position in the team and try to transform his French experience into concrete results on the English pitch. The club and fans are waiting to see if the striker can find his rhythm and contribute to the Reds' successes in the upcoming matches.
