Barcelonas Adama Traoré: The well oiled motorcycle

Atleticos Mario Hermoso and Espanyol's Adria Pedrosa is likely to know what Jürgen Klopp said. The Liverpool coach said about its opponent, he was "partially just not defended". What was meant was Adama Traoré.

In fact, one could sometimes suffered the left-back at 4: 2 against Atletico and the recent 2: 2 at Espanyol. Traoré dribbled, whirled, farted. Here is a class exam, as a overstood - the 26-year-old, he is a full-time job for every opponent. Pep Guardiola called him "a motorcycle. Nobody can deal with his pace".

But is the motorcycle perhaps only started? Is the gasoline going out at some point? Hard is: The loan of Wolverhampton has so far convinced. And so far he is effective, in the Premier League he was not always. Against Atletico he rose in the 21st minute briefly on the ball, it followed a body deceit inward, then he went along the outline. Hermoso did not go behind, after the exact flank Gavi headed to 2: 1.

Also at Espanyol he brought himself to his assist. 20 seconds before the end of the injection time, Traoré escaped from the half-field on Luuk de Jong, who stood by head on 2: 2. Only two of many strong scenes of the powerhouse with Malian roots.

But his felt home is Barcelona. Probably a reason why he did not feel any adaptation problems. "I am very happy to return home after seven years," said the attackers trained in the "Masia" at his presentation in early February. "I will do everything to make the Catalans happy." President Joan Laporta spoke of one " Beautiful story ", which continue between player and club. And from the purchase option you want to" perceive ".

In the first start, Traoré was still too easy to finished, in 2015 Barcelona sold the talent for ten million euros to Aston Villa. "Physically, I changed, I have more experience, learned a lot, but without losing the essence of Barça," believes Traoré at his breakthrough in the second attempt.

Why Traoré gets fucking with baby oil

So liked to hold Barcelona Traoré, so hard to do his opponents. By the way, this is also at a trick, which next probably Mario Rui, Naples left-back, get to know: In front of the game, Traoré smears the Oberarme with baby oil. That shines not only beautiful, but also prevents his counterparties can hold him after he has turned out.

Already at Aston Villa one had come to this trick to leave Traoré's opponent in the truest sense. A well-oiled motorcycle flat.
