Because of agent Mendes, there have been a number of transactions between Barca and Premier League Wolves in the past few years. Adama, a La Masia youth striker who returned to Barca on loan in the winter window, performed well, but his up to 30 million euros buyout clause made Barca hesitate.
If Wolves are willing to buy out The Portuguese international Trincon, whom Barca have loaned to them, for the same price, it will make things easier. This round of the Premier League came off the bench in the 25th minute, and he was the first player to achieve this achievement after Lampard.
01. First man after Lampard: Came off the bench and scored in the first half
After coming to the Premier League, Trincon has played 21 league games so far, and his performance is not outstanding. He is an organized team-based attacker, but Wolves are the most single-player team in the Premier League, lacking a system and local multiplayer.
Trincon is difficult to find a confidant in the team, and only the former Barca right-back Semedo has a tacit understanding with him, but unfortunately the latter is also injured.
However, in the match against Leeds United, Neves was injured and Trincon was allowed to play in the 25th minute of the game. As a result, he completed the no-ball forward insertion on the flank with the first touch of the ball, and then sent a good quality cross with his right foot to help the right wing-back Johnny score.
Trincon's biggest feature is organizational advancement, he needs to complete the collision with his teammates to cooperate with the wall, which is indeed not so easy to find in the Premier League. However, Leeds United is a team with a large space to pull around front and back, and it also gives Trincon room to play.
This time, with a simple collision against the wall, Trincon got a chance to shoot from the front of the penalty area. Unfortunately, he hit a world wave with his left foot, but unfortunately hit the goalpost.
Fortunately, in the first half of the supplementary shooting stage, Trincon still scored his first goal since coming to the Premier League. This low left-footed shot was extremely well angled and the opposing goalkeeper did not react.
Shortly after the start of the second half, center Jimenez came off the field with a red card, putting Wolves at a disadvantage. Coupled with constant mistakes made by the backline, the team eventually suffered a 2-0 lead and suffered a half-time three goals being reversed.
However, Trincon's successful passing, delivering two key passes that brought him on goal, and three steals, won wide acclaim, which may make Wolves reconsider the possibility of buying him out.
02. Staying in the Premier League is not necessarily good for him personally: but it is the best outcome for Barca
Trincon has averaged 53 minutes per game in the Premier League this season, but has also completed 1.7 passes, with a 51% success rate. He is still good at the foot confrontation, but despite being 1.84 meters tall, he is not good at headers, and the one-on-one success rate of high balls is only 25%.
Just like in the GIF, this time, Trincon took the ball and then easily passed Spurs centre-back Sanchez, and then there was a crotch-piercing man who scored the ball past Ben Davis, but unfortunately it was destroyed by the third man who supplemented romero.
However, this series of foot operations is still very strong.
The technical characteristics of Trincan are the most suitable for this kind of overall propulsion around him. The problem is that Wolves will slow down the ball in the key round, or the ball holder likes to pause more.
This time, Trincon took the ball in the middle to avoid the defender, and then split the ball and then inserted himself into the ribs in front of the box, but unfortunately, Marcel's pass on the left side was slow, and Trincon wanted to penetrate the flank again, or was defused by the opponent's right-back Johnson.
Let's take a look at this offensive and defensive conversion, Trincon took the ball in the middle of the road very beautifully, he looked for center Fabio Silva over, and then divided the ball to the flank Huang Xican, followed by his own forward insertion, but unfortunately Huang Xican paused and did not return the ball to him.
Trincon is very motivated in the game, but if he is just single-handed, he seems to have done very little except brush a few times.
Wolves are certainly not the right team for him, but if Wolves can buy out Trincon for 30 million euros, it is the best outcome for Barca.
03. Barca have an advantage in the deal: Adama only have 1 year left on his contract
Compared to Trincon's less than expected performance in the Premier League, Adama's performance after returning to La Liga is still very recognized by Barca. He delivered assists against Atletico in La Liga, and won the Europa League away to Napoli, and he delivered two assists.
As can be seen from the GIF, Adama's strong advance in this counter-attack caused the Napoli defense to collapse, and he finally scored to find Alba, who scored and opened the door to victory for Barca.
However, Adama's style of play is more inclined to the assault type after all, and after the opponent pays attention to it, there will also be a 2-man pinch to limit his possibility.
So Barca have some concerns about buying him out for 30 million euros. After all, he only has one year left on his contract, and Barca are not forced to buy out, and there is a possibility of further negotiations with Wolves.
After all, Adama, as a La Masia youth training, he himself longs to stay in Barca, and also gives Barca a bargaining advantage.
In contrast, even if Wolves don't buy out Trincon, Barca can still get a loan fee of 6 million euros. And only 22-year-old Trincon and Barca still have a 3-year contract, continue to rent out, and it is not difficult to recover the cost in the future.
Trincon's original purchase price was 21 million euros + youth striker Abel Ruiz, and considering that Barca's large number of La Masia's youth training was eventually given away, this amount is more like an account.
Conclusion:
If Trincon can continue to make gains for the rest of the season, his stay in the Premier League will be a good result for both teams. Otherwise Barca will need Trincon's agent Mendes to play a role in arranging a better future for his players.
