Barça’s newest star Traore hopes to be like Leo Messi

Barcelona’s latest gem Adama Traore hopes to emulate teammate and superstar Leo Messi.The youngster has impressed Luis Enrique this week by coming on as a sub in this week’s 8-1 thrashing of minnows Huesca in the Copa del Rey. He came on to score a great solo goal and things are looking good for the player.

The 18 year old has also signed a new deal that’ll keep him at the Nou Camp until 2018. Traore hopes to emulate Messi but he has previous looked up to the likes of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.

 “My heroes were Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, and now it is Messi,” the starlet said at a promotional event for Adidas yesterday (Wednesday).

 Traore continued: “From the moment I walked into the locker room, everyone has helped me, also on the pitch, I talk a lot.”

“My greatest strength is my speed and power. This is what stands out more but I’ll get better, I have many attributes.”

 “Today I say that my speed and power are my best weapons, but I wish I could talk about other things in the future.”

 “It was a great joy. The whole youth squad would like to score a goal in the Nou Camp and share the dressing room with these players.”
