Yes. Choir boy, no more.

put g.o.a.l.com and it should work

"'I could have joined a gang and sold drugs' ? Adama Traore opens up on tough Barcelona childhood"

Indeed, Adama's life could have gone very differently had he not had the required focus to succeed as a professional footballer.

?Yes, a lot of times,? the winger told AS when asked if gangs had tried to recruit him. ?Me, my brother, a Dominican friend, everyone. At that time, being part of a gang was something that made you popular.

?But we had a different mentality. We wanted to be footballers, not part of some gang. You saw fights almost every day and we didn't want to fight.

?Of course, I was in fights [anyway]. There were gangs in the school I went to. They fought each other constantly. I saw guns, fights with bats, knives, bottles... everything.

?They've done a great job in Hospitalet now though and everything is a lot calmer.?

Adama Traore Fred
Plenty of other talented young footballers growing up around Adama could have followed the same path, but it was all too easy for impressionable young minds to get caught up in making fast cash.

?A lot of them [quit football to join a gang],? he went on. ?I've played with and against them in los Bloques and they were incredible. But they stopped to sell drugs, to join gangs or because of relationships.

?The gangs controlled different areas. Depending on where you were going they'd ask: 'What gang are you in? Where do you live? Why are you here?'. If they didn't know you, or even if you didn't have any problems, it could still become an issue.

?So then some people would get angry and join a rival gang. That happened a lot. That's why it's so complicated and you need to know what you want, to remain focused on that.

?Wherever you come from, even if it's a rough neighbourhood, there are always good people who know what they want to do. The most important thing is to make the decision quickly. For example, in a fight, you need to decide quickly whether you want to follow the same path.

?You see the fights, how they work, how a gang operates, or how the police investigate the gangs, how the streets work, how they move drugs. If you want to do it illegally, it's there, and you can get those things easier.?

Memphis and Adama man those cats aren't ready...
But seriously the best thing would be to turn him into a right back. If hecan show some intelligence and be humble enough he would be crazy in that role, basically Kyle walker. Super strong and fast, perfect to defend transitions. I think his dribbling really isn't that crafty or skilled he's mainly using the physique and speed.

this is a good test for @BBZ

on paper adama meets all of BBZ's requirements: pace, physique, monstrous dimensions, lubricated muscles

is this the beginning of a decade of dominance ?? bbz

We all agreed that he is a low IQ even while he was here.

Low IQ is a deadly flaw.

So, there is no love.

Thanks for video bro! Exactly what I'm been telling people for a long time :lol: They constantly say he is lying about not using weights (reference to barbell), so many alternative excercises with calisthenics, cables, machines etc. Pisses me off the ignorance :lol:
Using something equivalent to weights to accomplish the same goal still puts you in the weight lifter/bodybuilder type. Like if i don't go to gym, but pull up cast iron bowls and frying pans every day to become a bulky muscular guy, i'm still a weight lifter/bodybuilder lmao. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a body builder alongside being a pro footballer and it may even get some benefits. In Adamas case there certainly are, because he's mediocre footballer, who would never reach PL level without his insane physique and speed that can hang him on on their own. The "lying" part mostly pertains to immaterial formalities.
adama could probably knock busquets over simply by blowing in his direction
He could send him off flying out of the stadium by simple but butt.

If we put Johan Cruyffs head in Futurama type life maintenance dome and he had to watch Adama play, the dome would immediately be filled with homogeneous red tint of Cruyffs exploded head.

The comeback kid! Leaves Barca as a young player, plays at Wolves without much end product, then, suddenly, he gets poached by Barcelona and slides straight into our starting line up!

Comeback kid!
