Wolverhampton is having a very irregular season. He is twelfth with 34 units, and at ten of the places that lead to international competitions. However, all this is not preventing Adama Traoré from continuing to be one of the most prominent footballers in the Premier League. So much so, that he has managed to surpass Lionel Messi in a facet of the game, in which the Argentine was master and lord.
Currently, the Spanish international is the top dribbler in the highest category of English football, and in the five major leagues as well. The thing is that, no other player has completed 108 dribbles like he did. And in all this, where does Lionel Messi come in? It is that Messi is on his heels, and that, precisely to Adama, it is difficult to do so. The Blaugrana captain and emblem has registered 100 dribbles so far this season.
Also, behind them are Javi Galán from Huesca of Spain, with 82 dribbles and another Argentine, Rodrigo De Paul, with 80 dribbles at Udinese in Serie A. In addition, it is worth noting that the sprinter Traoré has a high percentage of success in his dribbles, with 64.29%, after completing 108, out of 168 attempts. A statistic that, within the 'top 10' of footballers with the most successful feints, are only surpassed by Javi Galán with 73.87%, and De Paul (67.23%).
However, a debt this season for the ex-Middlesbrough and Aston Villa is that they still cannot score in the league. In the victory against Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United 1-0 Adama, after a run that is already a specialty of the house, hit the ball against the crossbar and the ball would end up entering, but after bouncing off the back of Illan Meslier, for what is considered an own goal. However, this Saturday he will have a new opportunity to reverse this adverse streak, when he visits Aston Villa in Birmingham, on matchday 27 of the English league.
