Adama Traore is still qualified for Mali despite his debut in Spain, but Luis Enrique was inspired by the winger’s first minutes for La Roja.
Luis Enrique thought Adama Traore displayed his “purest form” in a vibrant international debut, as he seemed to nail his colors to the Spanish mast.
The Spanish-born star appeared from the bench for just 28 minutes but created a huge opportunity for Dani Olmo, who shot Traore’s club colleague and Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio directly.
“Adama has been Adama in his purest form,” Luis Enrique said of Traore according to Goal, who was marked by Nelson Semedo, yet another Wolves man.
“That is what we want him to be, with his ability to beat opponents. He has played a killer pass to Dani Olmo that did not lead to a goal.”
“With one player they will not be able to stop him. They are going to have to use two players.”
