"Trincao has everything to succeed at Barça"

A lot has been said about Francisco Trincao, Barcelona's only signing of the winter transfer window. Now, former Sporting Braga coach Ricardo Sa Pinto has spoken to the press about his former player, who he thinks could find success with the Catalans. 

"Barcelona have made a great signing, they have the footballing talent and personality necessary to succeed at the Camp Nou," Sa Pinto said to 'Marca'.

He did, however, ask the fans for a little time for the young player. "People have to have a little patience with him because he's very young and lacks experience. He still has to grow up, but he has plenty of qualities," he said.

Sa Pinto listed the conditions that make Trincao a unique talent: "He's a great player. He has an incredible natural talent. He has speed, good passing, excellent drive, definition, he does well in one-on-one situations, he gives assists and can score goals. He's left-footed, but he likes to play with his legs changed and prefers to move around on the right flank. Although he's had minutes all over the attacking area, he's more comfortable at the end."

Some people compare Trincao to Joao Felix. Sa Pinto talked about both of them. "Joao Felix can score more goals, Trincao also can, but he gives more assists and plays more closer to the flank", he concluded.
