D'Alessandro slams Barcelona signing Traore: No subtlety; no dribbling ability

Former Atletico Madrid chief Jorge D'Alessandro has slammed Barcelona signing Adama Traore on El Chiringuito.

The on-loan Wolves winger impressed many on debut in victory over Atletico.

But D'Alessandro said: "I didn't see a superior Barca. Adama Traore, a player with a lot of strength, one on one, it was like a boxing match.

"Where is the talent? Where is the subtlety of dribbling? Where is the ability to dribble? Going through with just strength… but what kind of football is that? Football is strength? Football is details.

"I don't like that. I see that as a soldier. I haven't seen the Premier League. He's a sub, behind Trincao.

"You can keep Adama Traore."
