Hamed Traore, at the roots of Milan’s goal

Here is who the Sassuolo wildcard is in Milan’s sights: arrived in Italy at the age of 15, he is now the 2000 class with the most matches in Serie A

Hamed Traore reveals himself at the Barco court with tennis shoes, therefore without cleats, a black shirt two sizes bigger and a big smile like this: “When do we play ?,” he says. The managers of Boca, a team in a hamlet of Bibbiano near Reggio Emilia, look first at him, then at the shoes and finally at the clouds. He rains heavily, mud and puddles. It looks like Santiago Muñez’s audition in the film “Goal”, when the Mexican arrives in England and discovers the flood for the first time.
