Pep Guardiola took some time to speak to Adama Traore after Manchester City's victory over Fulham. As Traore revealed, the coach gave him some pointers on finishing during their chat on the pitch. It was a tough loss for Marco Silva's side, who had plenty of chances to at least earn a draw against the Premier League champions at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday.
Out of all the opportunities, three of them fell to Traore, who unfortunately missed three one-on-ones against Ederson after being put through on goal. Despite the defeat, Guardiola made sure to have a conversation with the speedy winger before heading off to the tunnel. Traore shared his appreciation for the coach, stating that he is the best in the world without a doubt. Their relationship goes back a few years, as they first met at Barcelona, and even when Traore joined Aston Villa, he had a phone call with Guardiola who has always been friendly towards him.
Reflecting on his current situation at Fulham, Traore expressed his happiness and growth as a player. He believes that the team is performing well and that they played a good game in their last match. However, it was not all smooth sailing for Traore as he revealed a unique strategy that was used by defenders to stop him. After suffering a shoulder injury, the doctor recommended using baby oil to prevent opponents from grabbing onto his arm. Traore initially thought it was a joke, but after trying it out, he noticed a difference in how defenders were unable to hold onto him. In fact, he even received a whole box of baby oil from a brand after joining Fulham.
Despite the challenges, Traore remains positive and grateful for the experiences that have shaped him as a player. He is focused on helping his team succeed and will continue to learn and improve in every game. With the support of his coach and teammates, Traore is determined to make a name for himself at Fulham and leave a lasting impact in the Premier League.
