Barcelona loanee speaks on his situation at Wolves and Leo Messi’s advice
Xavi’s admiration of wingers has been no secret since his arrival earlier this season. The Spanish manager’s tactics are heavily dependent on utilising the wide areas. Unsurprisingly, pacey and dynamic players with the ability to dribble in tight spaces appeal to him.
Ferran Torres, Adama Traore, Ousmane Dembele, and Ez Abde are just a few of the many wingers who have performed exceptionally well under Xavi’s command. However, one player who has not got the opportunity is Fransisco Trincao.
On the 4th of July last year, Barcelona announced that the Portuguese winger would move to Wolverhampton in the Premier League on loan. His spell in England since then has been far from successful.
Speaking about his situation at Wolves, Trincao stressed that he deserved more chances and spoke about the effort from his end. As reported by MARCA, he commented,
“I think I deserve more opportunities. I’m working hard to get my chances. It’s the manager’s decision, but I’m working hard to convince him. It is his decision, and I have to respect it.”
Trincao played alongside Lionel Messi at Barcelona for a year. With his position being very similar to that of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, the youngster picked up some vital skills from Messi. When asked about the same, Trincao said,
“Messi gave me some guidance on how to wait for the ball, how to press, and when to release the ball.”
The 22-year-old has only played one out of Wolves’ last six games. In 20 appearances in the league, he has not yet opened his goal tally and is yet to assist.
