If there was some doubt with Adama Traoré and his return to the FC Barcelona in this market of wintry signings, against the Athletic of Madrid has remained very clear reason Xavi Hernández has trusted blindly in him. It was one of the most active players in the first 45 minutes and left several details on the terrain of game. It topped his 'reissue' with the culés with a key assistance to Gavi.
It split to title by the right band, although it carries less than two weeks training under the control of Xavi Hernández, but was not an obstacle so that it left very, very good feelings. It felt dizzy those that times wanted to Mario Beautiful and broke to the defence rojiblanca to his antojo. All the danger during the first part was piped by him and was the big novelty of the crash.
During the 60 minutes that was on the terrain of game gave proof of his portento physical, speed and an impressive capacity to leave backwards to those that rivals wanted to. It has showed the lethal that can be when it can run. It is fast, with pressure, able to recover and centre (with the assistance to Gavi already left it clear), by what will be a resource that Xavi will use enough in what it remains of season.
When the clock brushed the twenty minutes, Adama went of Mario Beautiful with an impressive change of speed to arrive to background line. The extreme and international with Spain put a centre measured for Gavi that, with fortune and after touching in Vrsaljko, cabeceó at the end of the meshes of Jan Oblak.
