In the second leg of the Europa League knockout play-off, Barca travelled away to napoli. The first leg of the double was tied at Barca's home camp Nou, and the second leg moved to Napoli's home stadium, Maradona Stadium, and Barca was under great pressure. But it was under heavy pressure that Barca won 4-2 in 90 minutes and finally advanced. The biggest contributor to Barca's victory in this match was Adama Traoré, who first assisted Alba in the 7th minute to take the lead for Barca, and then assisted Aubameyang to score Barca's fourth goal of the match. Adama Traore, who has two assists, also naturally won the MVP of this game.

Efficient: Adama Terraore has started four assists at Barca than in the previous 71 Premier League games
In order to strengthen the offensive line, Barca have come on loan in the winter window this season to Adama Traoré. Adama Traore's role was immediate when he returned to Barca, having already contributed four assists in his four starts for Barca, which is equivalent to the total number of assists in his previous 71 Premier League games for Wolves. You know, when he was still playing for Wolves in the first half of the season, Adama Traoré started 10 times without assists; last season, he started 28 times and only assisted twice. Back at Barca, he scored four assists in just four starts, more than the previous 71 Premier League games combined, and the efficiency of assists doubled by nearly 18 times.
Why did Adama Terraore return to Barca to improve so quickly?
The number of starting four assists at Barca has exceeded the previous 71 Premier League games, which also shows that Adama Traoré's statistics in the Premier League are not outstanding. As we all know, Adama Traoré became the king of the British with his body, speed, and excellent dribbling ability. But often there is no follow-up after passing, so many fans question Traoré: "World-class, shooting and passing community level." At the same time, he questioned Barca's reinforcement, believing that Traoré would only pass, that his shooting and assisting abilities were not good, and that the transfer would be terrible. But just a month after his return, Adama Terraore punched his face with his performance strength.
1. The players are from Barca's youth training, and the concept is seamlessly integrated.
Adama Traoré is from the Basalamacia youth training, from childhood to learn Barca's football philosophy, so return to Barca, in the playing ideas, offensive philosophy, Adama Traore can be seamlessly integrated with Barca teammates, plus Barça is in the reconstruction period, reusing their own youth training youngsters, so it is more helpful for the integration of Adama Traore.

2. The style is outstanding, and Traoré and Barca complement each other
All along, the style of La Liga is different from that of the Premier League, la Liga rhythm is slow, emphasizing technology, not emphasizing physical confrontation, and Barca is the most typical representative of La Liga, so the overall style is soft and the offensive rhythm is slow. Although Adama Traore is from barca youth training, but a "different", he is physically strong, excellent confrontation ability, like to seek physical confrontation, strong dribbling ability, coupled with the exercise in the Premier League, very impactful, so back to the soft style of La Liga and Barca, is a dimensionality reduction attack, for Barca, greatly enriched the tactical content, Adama Traoré can play its own tactical role.
Adama Traoré was outstanding
3. Barca have strong overall strength and belong to the control team
A big reason for Adama Traoré's return to Barca is that someone was able to grasp the opportunities he created. Before the Wolves, the main defensive counterattack, leaving him alone in front, in the counterattack, often Traoré created opportunities, but no one could follow up in time, or did not seize the opportunity, and finally Traoré created opportunities in vain. Back to Barca, when Traore created opportunities, Barca's offensive investment far exceeded that of his teammates during the Wolves period, and Barca's overall player ability is stronger than Wolves, the ability to seize opportunities is even better, and he can seize the opportunities created by Adama Terraore, and his teammates are also a major factor affecting his offensive efficiency.
Conclusion: Great value for money, Barca can choose to buy out Traoré
In the winter window of this season, Barca loaned Adama Traoré from Wolves to supplement the team's attack, did not expect Traoré's performance so far so satisfactory, I believe that with such a performance, at the end of the season, Barca will definitely choose to buy out Adama Traore.
