Ex-Barcelona coach Vinyals: Where Wolves star Adama has improved

Qingdao Huanghai coach Jordi Vinyals has spoken of working with Wolves star Adama Traore at Barcelona.

Vinyals worked at La Masia between 2012 and 2015 and has explained Traore's past struggles.

"Even though he wasn't that muscular at the time, Adama had the best physique of all the players in the second division. He was the fastest and the strongest player," Vinyals told Goal.

"His problem was he was not tactically at his current level. Many of his opponents knew exactly how, despite his physical superiority, they could tactically stop him.

"I am happy that the boy has developed so well in England."
