Barcola: The Premier League is far less tactical than Ligue 1

Liverpool forward Bradley Barcola believes that Premier League football is far less tactical compared to Ligue 1. The Frenchman is still adapting to his new surroundings, but his last two outings showed he is growing accustomed to Andoni Iraola's demands after bagging a hat-trick against LASK and providing an assist against Brentford. However, he is still chasing his first Premier League goal, having come agonizingly close on Saturday when he missed a glorious opportunity before later rattling the woodwork.

"I'm trying to adapt because it's very different here compared to Paris Saint-Germain. The Premier League? It's different. It feels less tactical to me. Either way, at PSG we had a very, very tactical coach in Luis Enrique, but here things are less tactical – there are fewer positional rotations on the pitch. It's true that under my previous manager, I had to drift inside or stay out wide, and someone else would immediately fill my position. Here, it's completely different," Barcola told Téléfoot.
