Berlin: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's recent mask-wearing exploits landed him in hot water with Borussia Dortmund's bosses, but his coach Thomas Tuchel has leapt to the defence of the Gabon hot-shot.
"Such a sensitive human being like Auba is affected when so much is said and written about him &mdash; even if he has himself to blame," said Tuchel. "The goal in this situation, with it's background, was very important for us and Auba." The goal Tuchel refered to was Aubameyang's 25th in as many league matches which sealed Tuesday's 3-0 win over Hamburg to make him the Bundesliga top-scorer, one ahead of Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.
Aubameyang donned a red-and-orange wrestling mask for his goal celebration in the 1-1 Ruhr derby draw at Schalke. The problem is sportswear giants Puma own a five percent share in Dortmund and Aubameyang wore the same mask in an advert for private sponsor Nike.
