Something happens with Adama Traoré at Wolverhampton. The footballer goes through a bad streak with the Wolves: since May he has not scored a goal and since April he has not distributed an assist. The attacker seems to have lost his scoring nose by not seeing the goal or giving a goal pass to a teammate in the 18 games he has played in the 2021/2022 season between the Premier League and the Carabao Cup.
The attacker, who became an international with Spain in eight games, sees his light go out in the top English competition. Far is that 19/20 season in which Adama scored six goals and distributed 12 assists in 54 games. Among them the two games in which Wolverhampton beat Manchester City with three goals from the winger, two at Etihad and one at Molineux. Pep Guardiola surrendered to the soccer player’s talent and speed: “It’s a motorcycle! It’s almost impossible. No one can handle that pace”. Adama was living his best season as a footballer. The one that led him to be valued at 40 million euros for the specialized portal Transfermarkt.
Adama has a contract with the Wolves until June 2023, but in England they are already beginning to wonder if in the absence of a year and a half before their relationship ends, the English club would consider leaving in the next winter market. Liverpool have it on their agenda.
The attacker’s career has run between Spain and England. The footballer from L’Hospitalet de Llobregat made his debut at the age of 17 with the Barcelona first team on November 26, 2013 against Ajax in the Champions League. After going through the youth, Barça B and a couple more appearances with Barcelona, he changed his career and left for England in 2015. In the Premier League he started playing at Aston Villa where he showed his speedHowever, his meager face-to-goal fortune, one goal and two assists in 18 games, led him to change teams and join the Middlesbrough. With Boro he went down to the hells of the Championship from which he emerged with more strength and goals, specifically five goals and 12 assists in 40 games. Adama became the most expensive signing in the history of Wolverhampton with 20 million euros, the door to the Premier was opening again for the Spanish.
The return of Adama It was not easy, but with the work and help of Nuno Espirito Santo, his then coach, reached his best records in the Premier in the 2019/20 season. It was then that after 17 games they were the seventh highest scoring team with 24 goals, while now they are the penultimate with 13 goals. This good data came thanks to Adama’s good connection with Raúl Jiménez. The Mexican assisted in three of the four goals that the Spaniard scored and returned the favor with seven passes on goal in the 17 goals he scored.
The 20/21 season seemed like the best showcase for the player, however, did not dial or attend until March And to add insult to injury he lost his best partner, Raúl Jiménez had a head injury. The departure of Nuno from the bench and the arrival of Bruno lage it has led Adama to take a more secondary role on the team. He is no longer the undisputed starter despite having started in 10 of the 16 Premier League games he has played and his performance has dropped to the point that against Manchester City he touched the ball less times than José Sa, Wolves goalkeeper, with 24 to 50. Adama has gone from being one of the sensations in England to not seeing a goal. A whole X-file.
