With less than three days left in the winter window of European football, a number of heavy transfers have also begun to surface and been officially announced. Among them, the news that Barcelona has loaned Wolves winger Traoré is the most interesting, which is not only The act of Re-eating "Back Grass" after Ten Years of La Masia's own youth training, but also making fans look forward to what kind of changes the British super king can bring to the team.
When leaving Barca, Traoré's positioning was that of a hairy boy who could not be beaten, and now that ten years have passed, Traoré has become a muscle monster and has also trained hard to make his physical fitness and human ball combination ability become the top benchmark in Europe. However, some fans have questioned whether Traore's current style of play is suitable for Barca. Is Harvey bringing in this player the way?
First, the current Barça lacks a burst point, and the significance of the burst point is not only the player who opens the situation, but also the player who holds the opposing defense. Such responsibilities were once borne by players such as Neymar or Messi, and now after barca's blood change, Traoré is the king of the Premier League, which is very much in line with this requirement. But his weaknesses are also obvious, Neymar, Messi and other world top players will accurately and quickly divide the ball to their teammates after passing, and the ability to pass the ball is precisely Traore's weakness. So, whether Traoré is a cancer or the answer depends only on the idea of the way he plays.
Second, the inherent impression of the Barça system on the fans is that the pass control is supreme, and there is no pass control for Barca. It is precisely because Xavi has this DNA that he has gained a lot of support to become the head coach of Barca. However, some fans have asked why the current practical idea of team building should hold on to the word pass control? Can't Barca play a quick counter-attack, can't Barca play simple football? Competitive sports are scored kings, and no matter how good the scenes are, they are all in vain, and over time it will affect morale. Will Traore's addition be a signal to change the style of play? From Traore's play in Wolves over the years, it is not difficult to see that this player is only suitable for the midstream counter-attacking stream team, has good physical fitness and acceleration, and needs the team formation to recycle, giving him the opportunity to "gallop". In other words, if Traore is caught in a trench battle, his acceleration breakthrough ability will be greatly reduced. Therefore, this is why so many fans and commentators commented that this player is doomed to join the top giants despite his high value.
Although Barça took the initiative to break this statement, Barça was also very clever to adopt the model of loan and buyout clauses. The buyout clause is still not mandatory, so that if Traoré does not work well, there is also a chance to tolerate fault. It has to be said that Barça's management has learned the lessons of those failed signings in the past, saving the team salary space while also taking a pragmatic route. Compared with Dembele, Coutinho and Griezmann, who once had hundreds of millions of dollars, Barca also painfully changed the management after repeated failures, promoted young players from the second team, and hoarded cheap demons to survive the painful period after Messi left the team.
I also hope that Barcelona, under the leadership of Xavi, can gradually embark on the road of rejuvenation!
