Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang quotes on his character and his childhood

Pierre-Emerick Emiliano François Aubameyang or generally known as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was born on 18 June 1989 to his mother Margarita Crespo Aubameyang and his father Pierre Aubameyang.

Despite the fact that Aubameyang is of Gabonese descent, he was born in a town located in western France called Laval.  However, he never lived in France or Gabon as a child; as a matter of fact, he was raised in Milan, Italy since his father used to be a scout for AC Milan.

Pierre-Emerick grew up in a sporty family, having two older brothers named Willy Aubameyang and Catilina Aubameyang who are professional footballers as well. Also you can't ignore the fact that the father of this family used to be a professional footballer who had preferred to play as a defender.

Speaking of parents, Pierre-Emerick's mom had been a businesswoman and owned a boutique as well. Surely this rich background and the love for football which has been running in the Aubameyang family for years, influenced Pierre-Emerick as well as he figured out his passion for football at an early age.

On his childhood

When I was a kid, I watched Hugo Sanchez videos. The backflip I sometimes do when I score is actually an homage to him.

My childhood dream? To play at

. In 2014, before he died, I promised my grandfather who was from Avila, 110 kilometers from Madrid, that I would play there. It will be complicated, but it sits in a corner of my head.

On his character

I have the full confidence of the coach, and that's extremely important to me.

If I want to do something like the Batman mask, I just do it. I was like this all the time; I think nobody can change me.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang quotes

let’s together look into the specific details of everything this 32-year-old player is interested in and prefers to do while he is off the pitch.

I'm like this. When I feel something, I want to do something, I do it - I just do it. So I'm like this also in my life: if I want to wear some crazy clothes, I put it on.

I want to get the maximum out of my career. Football is my life. And when my career is over, I want to look after my family to help my children. That is all.

There are a lot of things to like about (Borussia Dortmund's fans) and the city of Dortmund as a whole. I like their honesty. And I like that my family and I can feel safe here. I don't have to worry at all about my safety and their and my own safety. Believe me, in other countries I have made different experiences in that regard. All of this, too, has led to my decision to extend my contract until 2020, and I can imagine staying even longer.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang quotes on football and his playing style

As previously stated, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang entered the youth system via ASL L'Huisserie Football back in 1995. 13 years later, he began playing at the senior level with

, however, things didn't go as they were once planned and Pierre-Emerick didn't even make one single appearance for this Italian football club.

Meanwhile, Aubameyang officially started playing for

national team one year after his senior debut. The first 3 years of his senior career were spent as a loan player in 4 different clubs such as Dijon, Lille, Monaco and Saint-Etienne.

Nonetheless, finally in 2011 he moved to the French football club,

where he was featured in 73 matches and scored 35 goals in the span of 2 years. Afterwards, Aubameyang signed a contract with

playing from 2013 up to 2018 which is also considered as the highlight of his professional career.

After making 144 appearances and scoring 98 goals in this club, he moved to his current team

. Keep reading our top Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang quotes on football and his own playing style.

It's frustrating when you make the efforts but the conditions are not there to make a great tournament.

I have progressed. I have worked a lot in front of goal, trying to keep a cool head, trying not to force things.

People talk about me, and that's good, but a lot of it has been down to how my team-mates have supported me.

Our style of play is increasingly based on possession of the ball. It suits me as a forward. We've got an attacking approach, and that means that I get a lot of chances; otherwise, I would have not been able to score so many goals.

I am grateful to everybody: the training staff, my fellow players, and everybody who works for the club. It is just great.

China, I didn't take it seriously; it was a lack of professionalism. They delayed to send us a written offer - It was a disaster.

To join a great club is nice and all, but you have to play the games.

I really like the Spanish league and find it attractive.

A lot of people would like to see me in England. This is not necessarily the league that attracts me the most, though. It would allow me to develop further, though.

It is France. I know the league well. It is my mother tongue. Inevitably, there is an attraction for me. A return? It might not be my first choice, but of course, it is not impossible.

The French league is clearly developing. It is really pleasing to see. Paris, for me, is above everyone else in France. When they come for you, it is always attractive.

I was never tempted by the Premier League. It's simply a personal opinion.

I know many people said I couldn't go to China because it would be a step backwards in football terms, but I think anyone would at least consider such an offer.

In France, sometimes, you have some players or coaches say, 'If we go there, and we come back with one point, it's okay.' Here? No chance of this! Everybody wants to win. I think every team is playing to win matches, so the game is hard and fast, intensive. I really like the Bundesliga for that.

In football, nothing lasts forever.

Some players have ambitions, and therefore, they leave and want to experience something new, you know.

Lots of people think that the Premier League would be good for me, but my mum is Spanish, and I really have that dream to play over there.

The Torjagerkanone means a lot to me. It was a great effort - made by the whole team.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang quotes on famous players and football clubs

For the last part of this article, let’s take a look at the top quotes by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang about other football stars and teams, which include his comments on Robert Lewandowski, Marco Reus and Jurgen Klopp.

On Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski is very complete. He can hold on to the ball and build play; he can dribble. He can score goals from anywhere. He is fast, strong in the air.

Robert Lewandowski is a fantastic forward. He challenges me in every match with his performances and goals.

On Jurgen Klopp

gave me strength of character and helped me progress. He's a charismatic person, and I have a lot of respect for this man.

Klopp would reproach me for not tracking back properly. I took things on board, and I listened to him. I worked hard in training; I stayed behind after training. That's what helped me to shine in the Bundesliga because I scored quite a lot of goals despite some difficult games in the league.

Klopp helped me play my favourite position again - centre-forward.

On Marco Reus

The interaction with

is also very good. We understand each other very well, both on and off the pitch. If we get along privately, then that affects things on the pitch. We're almost like brothers.

On Thomas Tuchel

shows me how to move and what I could do better. He wants to take me to absolute top level.

On Hans-Joachim Watzke

As far as I know, Mr. Watzke has not said he would sell me if somebody offered 100m. He has emphasised that the club would like to continue working with me. The club is just greedy for success - and so am I.

On Real Madrid

The only club that could lure me away from Dortmund is Real Madrid.

If Real want me, they will call me one day, and, if not, no problem. I live my life and am optimistic about the future.

Real Madrid? There is no agreement, but I promised my grandfather I would play there one day. Why wouldn't I want to discover new things? As I've said several times, I'd like to play in Spain and have good weather for once in my life!

Real is the club of my heart, and I promised my grandfather that I would play there one day. I hope that it will happen.

On Borussia Dortmund

I like staying here very much, as I feel at home in Dortmund.

I focus only on the work with my team-mates with Dortmund and Gabon.

We had an agreement with Borussia that I could leave. It didn't happen. It is a disappointment. But I'm also happy to stay.

I am feeling very well here and want to achieve much more with BVB and win titles. I am here and nowhere else: not at Arsenal, not at Barcelona, and not on the moon.

Dortmund is a fantastic club, critical for my career. But my Spanish grandfather on my mother's side always wished that I play in Spain. And if, then at Real Madrid.

I have said in the past that I dream of playing in Spain, but Dortmund has become my second home. I love this club, its fans, and this city.

I want to thank my team mates in the national team and also at Dortmund. It is their work that helps me to score goals.

I hope Dortmund can reach the final of the Champions League again... why not?

I have no dream. I shall no longer speak of Madrid. They don't want me. This is not a problem. I move forward; I am well in Dortmund.

If I didn't believe that I could win titles with Dortmund, then I wouldn't be here.

You can take it for granted that I am not going to waste any time thinking about giving up how happy I am at Borussia, in the city of Dortmund, and with this team.

On Tottenham Hotspur

If

ever came back in me for me, I'd say no.

On St. Etienne

I am really pleased to sign permanently with St. Etienne. It was my ambition in coming to St. Etienne. This is one of the finest passages of my young career.

I've played for St. Etienne, and the fans told me I should never go to Lyon. So I didn't go.

Samuel Eto'o I know well. We see each other often; we send each other messages, and we call each other. It's good.

On Newcastle United

I will choose England before any other destination. My dream has always been to play in one of the top two leagues in the world.

is a good club, and St James's Park is a monumental stadium where there is passionate fans.

On AC Milan

Milan offered me something. I was very interested by the project. It did not happen for many reasons.

On Bayern Munich

Never would I switch to

.

I'll never go to Bavaria, that's for sure. That would be too hard for the Dortmund fans. No matter what they offer me, I would say no. Absolutely no way.

On Paris Saint-Germain

It's true that

have the ambition to win the Champions League, so they could be interesting for a player like me.
