"I'm revenge, it has not gone well lately, I want to change that image of myself that I may have in the selection," said the Arsenal player, who offered penalty victory to his team Thursday in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt.
"This victory is good, it's a new dynamic, we're leaving with a lot of ambitions … First and foremost, we really want to work," he continued.
"I rather want to show another player, in terms of performance, we did not qualify (for the last CAN) and I know that I can give a lot more on the field," he said. .
The striker was the big missing of the last African Cup of Nations this summer, paying for Gabon's failed qualifying campaign, which ended behind modest Burundi.

The arrival in May 2019 of French Patrice Neveu to the reins of the Panthers has apparently eased tensions.

"The pleasure and the joy do not prevent the rigor, he loves his country and he wants to take him to the highest, when we will be better in the collective expression, he will also be able to advance with us", he said. -he thinks.
To qualify for the CAN-2021, Gabon will have to finish in the first two of a pool composed of Angola, DR Congo and the winner of the dam between Djibouti and Gambia.
"We have no right to the mistake, I would say that it is an obligation to qualify, given our qualities," Aubameyang responded.
