On January 30, Beijing time, Barca officially announced the loan of Adama Traore, which was his return to his old club after 6 and a half years. So why did Barca want the winger?
Traore debuted in the La Masia academy, left the team in 2015 to break into the Premier League, and eventually became famous at Wolves. And his famous stunt is to use rapid speed and outstanding explosive power to break through people.
How strong was Traore's breakthrough? The data shows that since the start of the 2018-19 season, he has completed 484 successful passes in the league, the most in the Premier League in the same period! The five major leagues in Europe are also in second place.
Who is the most? Traore used to be in Barcelona's big brother Messi! During the same period, he completed a total of 600 successful passes in La Liga + Ligue 1, 116 more than Traore! Breath taking.
Moreover, Messi's success rate is also higher. Traore was 697 attempts, 484 successful, reaching 69.4%. Messi was 824 attempts, 600 completes, and the success rate was a staggering 72.8%!
In addition, from the perspective of the regional distribution of the passers-by, Messi has 113 times in the middle of the opponent's penalty area, successfully 57 times; passed by 464 times in the opponent's half, successfully 276 times, which shows that the Mei Ball King's direct threat to the opponent's defense and goal is greater.
What about Traore? Mainly on the right side of the breakthrough, the front of the right wing passed 172 times, successful 110 times, the efficiency is quite high, but in the middle of the opponent's penalty area, only 22 attempts, successful 13 times; in the middle of the opposing half, 95 attempts, 74 successful times, which is also a huge difference between him and Messi.
